Abstract
This study provides evidence that genetic factors explain interindividual variation in CA and CC, with nonadditive genetic factors explaining most of the variance due to those genetic factors. Heritability estimates were sex specific and indicate the need for future linkage studies for the identification of genes involved in the etiology of CA and CC.
