Common SNPs explain a large proportion of the heritability for human height.

a sample with low MAF. This causes the causal variants to have lower LD with the SNPs than random SNPs do with one another. Thus, even if Ajk was calculated from an infinite number of SNPs, it would still tend to overestimate the variance in relationships at the causal variants and consequently underestimate the genetic variance. We therefore adjust Ajk as
