  • CI = confidence interval.

  • * Parameters for schizophrenia are fixed based on the genetic point estimates of meta-analysis results (h2 = 0.81, χ2 = 0.11, e2 = 0.08) and the thresholds on the liabilities are fixed to reflect a prevalence of 1%.

  • h2, χ2 and e2 are the heritability, shared and nonshared environmental influences, the standardized variance component due to A, C and E factors.
