  "summary": "Most heritability studies have focused on common genetic variation and have largely excluded non-European or highly admixed populations. Here, we estimated the whole-genome heritability (h2WGS) of seven complex traits using 73,600,953 autosomal and chromosome X variants for 198,931 unrelated individuals from three genetic similarity groups. Adjusting for population stratification, we showed that…",
