Quantitative Genetics of Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate and Its Relation to Possible Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Mexican Americans

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is an adrenal steroid which has been inversely associated with development of atherosclerosis. We estimated heritability of serum DHEAS levels in 564 related Mexican Americans. We found a significant heritability for DHEAS (h² = 0.39, p < 0.001). Measures of...
