Abstract In a sample of 5049 pairs of individuals from high-risk pedigrees, no evidence could be found for a uterine or socialization maternal effect on IQ or on the incidence of mental retardation. The observed excess of affected males and higher risk for children of affected females are fully consistent with all of three multifactorial threshold models.
