rMZ = within-twin correlation for monozygotic twins, rDZ = within-twin correlation for dizygotic twins. Significant correlations and models are indicated by an asterisk (*) and bold font. Due to relatively weak correlations, in combination with the sample size, the estimated likelihood function was too flat to accurately estimate 95% confidence interval bounds.
