Text

In contrast, a significant portion of the variance in conduct problems appears to be due to genetic influences, as conduct problem correlations between MZ twins are significantly higher than between DZ twins and full siblings. The DZ correlations are greater than FS correlations, indicating a role of the twin-specific environment. A large portion of conduct problem variance appears to be influenced by nonshared environmental factors, as MZ correlations are approximately 0.6.
