a

Note that for each endophenotype, only significant covariates were accommodated in the heritability analysis.

b

Significantly heritable endophenotypes (P < .05).

c

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.
