Dropping both A and C from the model, resulted in a significantly worse fit for each measure ([[Delta][Chi]2.sup.2] = 37.24 (IQ), 22.06 (HITS), 19.03 (MAE), 8.90 (SD)) confirming that there was significant familial aggregation. However, dropping only one of A [MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] from the ACE model resulted in a nonsignificant [[Delta][Chi-square] indicating that either, or both, could be the cause of the familial correlation.
