Note: Gray matter volume (GMV) estimated from residuals of linear mixed effects models that included age, gender, scanner, and family relatedness (i.e., the isolated race-related effect). Percentage mediated is calculated by ab/c * 100.
Symbol indicates model met criteria for partial or full mediation. Percentage mediated omitted for regions in which no significant total effect was observed.
