Text

We detected a significant (p < 0.05) genetic dominance and/or shared sibling environment variance component for 53 of 98 traits. These included all anthropometric traits (five of five), most cardiovascular measures (16 of 20), and a substantial number of personality factors and facets (16 of 35), as well as blood test results (16 of 38). Including genetic dominance increases the average heritability from 0.403 to 0.496 for blood test results, from 0.508 to 0.799 for anthropometric measures, from 0.249 to 0.444 for measures of cardiovascular function, and from 0.188 to 0.299 for personality factors and facets.
