hb2, hc2, and hd2 are the heritabilities associated with the “b,” “c,” and “d” Gaussians, respectively. See Table 3. These confidence intervals are likely underestimates (too narrow), due to linkage disequilibrium and a consequent over-counting of the number of degrees of freedom (independent z-scores).
