Relationship between narrow sense (additive) and broad sense heritability on the risk scale for different disease prevalences (K). From simulations of a single population of 106 individuals, with calculated as 4(λOG - 1)K/(1-K) where λOG is the recurrence risk of disease in grandchildren of affected grandparents and calculated from Equation 2.
