Acute insulin response (AIR) is a highly familial trait with a heritability estimate of 0.80 at 10 minutes.
AIR should be considered in genetic assessments of diabetes risk.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
AIR was also highly familial (h2 = .80 at 10 min).
Why this rating
The study employs a robust method for estimating heritability.
