1The analysis for total BMS did not converge and was thus omitted from this Table; 2 there was no evidence for IGE on body weight, thus, weight refers to the direct effect only; genetic correlation of direct total BMS vs. direct weight was equal to -0.28 ± 0.13 and indirect total BMS vs. direct weight was equal to -0.15 ± 0.08; correlation of TBV of total BMS with body weight was - 0.21 ± 0.08.
