potential causes for inflated twin‐based heritability estimates, including shared environment, dominance effects, and epistatic interactions. Furthermore, dense family pedigrees, such as those found in COGA, provide a unique resource for identifying rare variants associated with AUD and related traits, which might be found in multiple members of such families.
