Genetic correlation

In multivariate behavioral & quantitative genetics, a genetic correlation (denoted or ) is the proportion of variance that two traits share due to genetic causes,[1][2] the correlation between the genetic influences on a trait and the genetic influences on a different trait[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] estimating the degree of pleiotropy or causal overlap. A genetic correlation of 0 implies that the genetic effects on one trait are independent of the other, while a correlation of 1 implies that all of the genetic influences on the two traits are identical. The bivariate genetic correlation can be generalized to inferring genetic latent variable factors across >2 traits using factor analysis. Genetic correlation models were introduced into behavioral genetics in the 1970s-1980s.

Genetic correlations have applications in validation of GWAS results, breeding, prediction of traits, and discovering the etiology of traits & diseases.

They can be estimated using twin studies and molecular genetics. Genetic correlations have been found to be common in non-human genetics[10] and to be broadly similar to their respective phenotypic correlations,[11] but also in human traits.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] This finding of widespread pleiotropy has implications for artificial selection in agriculture, interpretation of phenotypic correlations, attempts to use Mendelian randomization in causal inference,[20][21][22][23][24] the understanding of the biological origins of complex traits, and the design of GWASes.

A genetic correlations is to be contrasted with environment correlations between the environments affecting two traits (eg if poor nutrition in a household caused both lower IQ and height); a genetic correlation between two traits can contribute to the observed (phenotypic) correlation between two traits, but genetic correlations can also be opposite observed phenotypic correlations if the environment correlation is sufficiently strong in the other direction, perhaps due to tradeoffs or specialization.[25][26]

Interpretation

Genetic correlations are not the same as heritability, as it is about the overlap between the two sets of influences and not their absolute magnitude; two traits could be both highly heritable but not be genetically correlated or have small heritabilities and be completely correlated (as long as the heritabilities are non-zero).

For example, consider two traits - dark skin and black hair. These two traits may individually have a very high heritability (most of the population-level variation in the trait due to genetic differences, or in simpler terms, genetics contributes significantly to these two traits), however, they may still have a very low genetic correlation if, for instance, these two traits were being controlled by different, non-overlapping, non-linked genetic loci.

A genetic correlation between two traits will tend to produce phenotypic correlations - eg the genetic correlation between intelligence and SES[14] or education and family SES[27] implies that intelligence/SES will also correlate phenotypically. The phenotypic correlation will be limited by the degree of genetic correlation and also by the heritability of each trait. The expected phenotypic correlation is the bivariate heritability' and can be calculated as the square roots of the heritabilities multiplied by the genetic correlation. (Using a Plomin example,[28] for two traits with heritabilities of 0.60 & 0.23, , and phenotypic correlation of r=0.45 the bivariate heritability would be , so of the observed phenotypic correlation, 0.28/0.45 = 62% of it is due to genetics.)

Cause

Genetic correlations can arise due to:[17]

  1. linkage disequilibrium (two neighboring genes tend to be inherited together, each affecting a different trait)
  2. biological pleiotropy (a single gene having multiple otherwise unrelated biological effects)
  3. mediated pleiotropy (a gene causes trait X and trait X causes trait Y).
  4. biases: population stratification such as ancestry or assortative mating (sometimes called "gametic phase disequilibrium"), spurious stratification such as ascertainment bias/self-selection[29] or Berkson's paradox, or misclassification of diagnoses

Uses

Causes of changes in traits

Genetic correlations are scientifically useful because genetic correlations can be analyzed over time within an individual longitudinally[30] (eg intelligence is stable over a lifetime, due to the same genetic influences - childhood genetically correlates with old age[31]), or across studies or populations or ethnic groups/races, or across diagnoses, allowing discovery of whether different genes influence a trait over a lifetime (typically, they do not[3]), whether different genes influence a trait in different populations due to differing local environments, whether there is disease heterogeneity across times or places or sex (particularly in psychiatric diagnoses there is uncertainty whether 1 country's 'autism' or 'schizophrenia' is the same as another's or whether diagnostic categories have shifted over time/place leading to different levels of ascertainment bias), and to what degree traits like autoimmune or psychiatric disorders or cognitive functioning meaningfully cluster due sharing a biological basis and genetic architecture (for example, reading & mathematics disability genetically correlate, consistent with the Generalist Genes Hypothesis, and these genetic correlations explain the observed phenotypic correlations or 'co-morbidity';[32] IQ and specific measures of cognitive performance such as verbal, spatial, and memory tasks, reaction time, long-term memory, executive function etc all show high genetic correlations as do neuroanatomical measurements, and the correlations may increase with age, with implications for the etiology & nature of intelligence). This can be an important constraint on conceptualizations of the two traits: traits which seem different phenotypically but which share a common genetic basis require an explanation for how these genes can influence both traits.

Boosting GWASes

Genetic correlations can be used in GWASes by using polygenic scores or genome-wide hits for one (often more easily measured) trait to increase the prior probability of variants for a second trait; for example, since intelligence and years of education are highly genetically correlated, a GWAS for education will inherently also be a GWAS for intelligence and be able to predict variance in intelligence as well[33] and the strongest SNP candidates can be used to increase the statistical power of a smaller GWAS,[34] or one could do a GWAS for multiple traits jointly.[35]

Breeding

Hairless dogs have imperfect teeth; long-haired and coarse-haired animals are apt to have, as is asserted, long or many horns; pigeons with feathered feet have skin between their outer toes; pigeons with short beaks have small feet, and those with long beaks large feet. Hence if man goes on selecting, and thus augmenting any peculiarity, he will almost certainly modify unintentionally other parts of the structure, owing to the mysterious laws of correlation.
— Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, 1859

Genetic correlations are also useful in applied contexts such as plant/animal breeding by allowing substitution of more easily measured but highly genetically correlated characteristics (particularly in the case of sex-linked or binary traits under the liability-threshold model, where differences in the phenotype can rarely be observed but another highly correlated measure, perhaps an endophenotype, is available in all individuals), compensating for different environments than the breeding was carried out in, making more accurate predictions of breeding value using the multivariate breeder's equation as compared to predictions based on the univariate breeder's equation using only per-trait heritability & assuming independence of traits, and avoiding unexpected consequences by taking into consideration that artificial selection for/against trait X will also increase/decrease all traits which positively/negatively correlate with X.[36][37][38][39][40]

Breeding experiments on genetically correlated traits can measure the extent to which correlated traits are inherently developmentally linked & response is constrained, and which can be dissociated.[41] Some traits, such as the size of eye spots on the butterfly Bicyclus anynana can be dissociated in breeding,[42] but other pairs, such as eye spot colors, have resisted efforts.[43]

Computing the genetic correlation

Genetic correlations require a genetically informative sample. They can be estimated by using breeding experiments on two traits of known heritability and selecting on one trait to measure the change in the other trait (allowing inferring the genetic correlation), family/adoption/twin studies (analyzed using SEMs or DeFries-Fulker extremes analysis), molecular estimation of relatedness such as GCTA,[44] methods employing polygenic scores like LD score regression,[15][45] BOLT-REML[46] or HESS,[47] comparison of genome-wide SNP hits in GWASes (as a loose lower bound), and phenotypic correlations of populations with at least some related individuals.[48] (As with estimating SNP heritability, the better computational scaling & the ability to estimate only using public polygenic scores is a particular advantage for LD score regression over competing methods, and combined with the increasing availability of polygenic scores from datasets like the UK Biobank has led to an explosion of genetic correlation research in the 2010s.) The methods are related to Haseman-Elston regression & PCGC regression.[49]

One way to consider it is using trait X in twin 1 to predict trait Y in twin 2 for monozygotic and dizygotic twins (ie using twin 1's IQ to predict twin 2's brain volume); if this cross-correlation is larger for the more genetically-similar monozygotic twins than for the dizygotic twins, the similarity indicates that the traits are not genetically independent and there is some common genetics influencing both IQ and brain volume. (Statistical power can be boosted by using siblings as well.[50])

Genetic correlations are affected by methodological concerns; underestimation of heritability, such as due to assortative mating, will lead to overestimates of longitudinal genetic correlation,[51] and moderate levels of misdiagnoses can create pseudo correlations.[52] As they are affected by heritabilities of both traits, genetic correlations have low statistical power, especially in the presence of measurement errors biasing heritability downwards, because "estimates of genetic correlations are usually subject to rather large sampling errors and therefore seldom very precise": the standard error of an estimate is .[53] (Larger genetic correlations & heritabilities will be estimated more precisely.[54]) However, inclusion of genetic correlations in an analysis of a pleiotropic trait can boost power for the same reason that multivariate regressions are more powerful than separate univariate regressions.[55]

Twin methods have the advantage of being usable without detailed biological data, with human genetic correlations calculated as far back as the 1970s and animal/plant genetic correlations calculated in the 1930s, and require sample sizes in the hundreds for being well-powered, but they have the disadvantage of making assumptions which have been criticized, and in the case of rare traits like anorexia nervosa it may be difficult to find enough twins with a diagnosis to make meaningful cross-twin comparisons, and can only be estimated with access to the twin data; molecular genetic methods like GCTA or LD score regression have the advantage of not requiring specific degrees of relatedness and so can easily study rare traits using case-control designs, which also reduces the number of assumptions they rely on, but those methods could not be run until recently, require large sample sizes in the thousands or hundreds of thousands (to obtain precise SNP heritability estimates, see the standard error formula), may require individual-level genetic data (in the case of GCTA but not LD score regression)

Given a genetic covariance matrix, the genetic correlation is computed by standardizing this, i.e., by converting the covariance matrix to a correlation matrix. For example, if two traits, say height and weight have the following additive genetic variance-covariance matrix:

Height Weight
Height 36 36
Weight 36 117

Then the genetic correlation is .55, as seen is the standardized matrix below:

Height Weight
Height 1
Weight .55 1

In practice, structural equation modeling applications such as Mx or OpenMx (and before that, historically, LISREL[56]) are used to calculate both the genetic covariance matrix and its standardized form. In R, cov2cor() will standardize the matrix.

Typically, published reports will provide genetic variance components that have been standardized as a proportion of total variance (for instance in an ACE twin study model standardised as a proportion of V-total = A+C+E). In this case, the metric for computing the genetic covariance (the variance within the genetic covariance matrix) is lost (because of the standardizing process), so you cannot readily estimate the genetic correlation of two traits from such published models. Multivariate models (such as the Cholesky decomposition) will, however, allow the viewer to see shared genetic effects (as opposed to the genetic correlation) by following path rules. It is important therefore to provide the unstandardised path coefficients in publications.
