UM1 = first maxillary molar; hy = hypocone area; ma = metacone area; pa = paracone area; pr = protocone area; ns = not significant. Total c2 = amount of phenotypic variance attributable to covariates; Total h2 = (Residual h2)(1-Total c2); Total e2 = [1-(Total c2 + Total h2)]; Coefficient of variation (CV) = [standard deviation * 100]/mean; measurements are in mm2.
