  It has not been dismissed. That's the trap of headline reporting. The study is suggesting influences between 50 and 75% genetic, after what looks like they remove common environmental influences. The common influences thing is mentioned specifically as a point of differentiation with other studies. They also state the following: >While the present study has used a large population-based sample of Dutch twin youth (van Beijsterveldt et al. 2013), we recommend caution in generalizing our findings to other countries. An important next step therefore would be to replicate our findings in different populations. Given their acknowledgment of common environmental influences, this is somewhat expected.
