β¦ Synopsis
Reanalysis of data on periodontal disease in 241 families [Chung et al, 1977b1, based on an extended and more satisfactory path model [Rao et al, 19791, failed to detect significant heritability, and concluded in favor of cultural inheritance only, without maternal effects or intergenerational differences. The most parsimonious hypothesis yields a relative variance component of 0.338 * 0.024 due to indexed environment for both children and adults, the remainder ( 1 .O -0.338 = 0.662) being due t o residual nongenetic factors.
