Between-family component of DRD4-7R (b) | -0.05 (0.04) | 0.12 |
Within-family component of DRD4-7R (w) | 0.09 (0.07) | 0.18 |
Age | 0.00 (0.01) | 0.66 |
Male | -0.05 (0.04) | 0.15 |
Deviance | 1119.55 | |

Note: This table can be read like an ordinary regression except that the variable coding for DRD4 is divided into two variables to control for population stratification. The between-family component represents the average number of DRD4-7R alleles among all observed members of the subject’s family, while the within-family component indicates the excess number of DRD4-7R alleles relative to the family average. The results show that DRD4-7R is not directly associated with political ideology. Null deviance = 1123.28.
