Quantitative Disequilibrium Transmission Test of a Direct Association Between DRD4 and Political Ideology

Estimate (standard error) p-value
Intercept 2.84 (0.23) 0.00
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
N 1941

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.
