Abstract
Jian Yang and colleagues explore the uses and abuses of heritability estimates derived from pedigrees and from GWAS SNPs and make recommendations for best practice in future applications of SNP-based heritability.

Results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have proven valuable for understanding the genetic architecture of complex traits and are potentially valuable for predicting disease risk.
