Shown is the number of sib-pairs (N.pair) in each study, inferred full-sib correlation (r^FS), common environmental effect (c^FS2) and heritability (h^FS2) with standard errors (s.e.).

ain each study, we calculated the full-sib correlation from the given estimates of common environmental and genetic effects from full-sib regression as c^FS2+12h^FS2. Standard errors were estimated using the approximation (1r^FS2)/N, where N is the number of pairs.
