Abstract excerpt
In the classical twin design, the assumption that the additive genetic (A) and shared environment (C) variance components are uncorrelated may not hold. If there is positive AC covariance, the C component is overestimated. While many processes can lead to AC covariance, in this study, we focus on two widely-studied mechanisms: Cultural transmission (e.g., genetic nurture), when the parents' genotypes contribute...
