The population-based Finnish Twin Cohort study was used to establish a heritability estimate for refractive errors especially for myopia. The twin cohort was derived from adult same-sexed twins in Finland. The total number of twins with both members alive in 1984 was 23,570. Of these, 3,676 twin pai

The distribution and moments of ANOVA estimator of heritability are given under unbalanced random model. These expressions are used to investigate the effect of unbalancedness on the bias and variance/MSE of the estimator and also the validity of certain approximations for its variance, numerically.
