Note. Full ACE model includes rg, rc and re. Best-fitting model is indicated by an asterisk (*). −2 ln L = fit statistic, negative two times the log-likelihood; df = degrees of freedom, Δχ2 = difference in chi square from full ACE model; p = probability; AIC = fit statistic, Akaike Information Criterion; A = genetic influence; C = shared environmental influence; E = nonshared environmental influence; rg = correlation between genetic influences on each disorder; rc = correlation between shared environmental influences on each disorder; re = correlation between nonshared environmental influences on each disorder; CD = conduct disorder; MDD = major depressive disorder.
