Heritability calculated for non-proteinuric hypertensionby 2 (rm7-rdr)i s 0.375. This may not be directly calculatedfor pre-eclampsia because of the zero concordance.For hospital-classified pre-eclampsia, taking non-proteinurichypertension cases as unaffected, model fittingindicated no familial resemblance, due to zero concordancerates for both monozygotic and dizygotic pairs,with 95% confidence intervals for A (estimated as 0) ofbetween 0 and 0.49. If the assumption is made that thenext pair identified would be monozygotic and concordantfor pre-eclampsia, the estimation of A remains 0.For hospital-classified non-proteinuric hypertensionan aetiological model, which included additive geneticeffects (A) and shared (C) and nonshared (E) environment,fitted the data (x2 = 2-295, df = 3, P = 0-513), with(0.57 1-0.999). Because the number of hospital-verifieddiagnoses was lower, the power to test reduced modelswas lower, but an AE model showed no deterioration offit due to the zero estimate of C. This would give a heritabilityof 0.164 (0-001-0.429) for non-proteinurichypertension.When a threshold model was fitted to the hospital data,treating non-proteinuric hypertension as a less severevariant of pre-eclampsia, a full ACE model fitted the data(x2 = 8.279, df = 12, P = 0.763), with A = 0.247A reduced AE model which provided no detriment of fitgives a heritability of 0.247 (0-023-0.454)i n this sample.
