Fig 6. The role of genetics in explaining phenotypic associations between parent and child.

Fig 6

Standardized observed associations between the same traits in the mother (or father) and the child are represented as a function of trait heritability. An observed association of 0.20 with trait heritability of 0.60 is consistent with complete genetic confounding. Conversely, an association of 0.40 with heritability of 0.40 is not consistent with complete genetic confounding.
