Table 2.

Predictors tested on sibling pairs with a single case, where one sibling is high risk (+1.5, +2, +2.5 SD or 93rd, 97.5th, 99th percentile) and the other is normal risk (<+1 SD or < 85th percentile).

The first column is the number of pairs used. The second column is the fraction of pairs where the high risk sibling is the case. 1 SD binomial errors given in parenthesis. Quantities in bold have uncertainties in the central value larger than 10% due to low statistics.
