Fig. 3: Matrix of heritability estimates and genetic and trait correlations estimated between trait pairs in the cohort.

From: The genetic architecture of cervical length is shared with spontaneous preterm birth risk

Fig. 3

Values in the upper triangle represent observed phenotypic correlations between traits, while values in the lower triangle represent genetic correlations between traits. Values along the diagonal represent a trait’s SNP-based heritability. Note that negative genetic correlations occur when an increase in trait 1 corresponds with a decrease in trait 2.
