Text

Based on our results from overall models and utilizing information from both the twin and the co-twin, we estimated the level of genetic liability for all subjects in our sample for each of the three identified genetic factors. Figure 2 shows the distribution of scores on these scores for all subjects in the sample meeting AD criteria. Substantial variation is seen in all three factors, which are, as expected, only weakly inter-correlated.
