Abbreviations: ABF, Abstraction and Mental Flexibility; CI, confidence interval; CPT, Continuous Performance Test; CVLT, California Verbal Learning Test; EMO, Emotion Recognition; FMEM, Face Memory; , residual heritability after variance due to covariates is removed; LNS, Letter-Number Sequencing test; Penn CNB, University of Pennsylvania Computerized Neurocognitive Battery; PPI, prepulse inhibition of the startle response; S-M, Sensorimotor Dexterity; SMEM, Spatial Memory; SPA, Spatial Processing.
Note that for each endophenotype, only significant covariates were accommodated in the heritability analysis.
Significantly heritable endophenotypes (P < .05).
An alternative measure of P50 suppression, the conditioning-test amplitude difference, was found to be significantly heritable (h2 = 0.28 ± 0.11; P = .004) in this sample.
