Genetic correlation bellow -1

Dear OpenMx team and users,
I am running an AE multivariate twin model with a sample of 21 DZ twin pairs and 50 MZ twin pairs on 4 variables. The Genetic correlation between two of these variables is -1.10.
So my obvious question is; what possible reasons could explain this correlation bellow -1? Could it be related to the absence of "C" or "D" in the model? Or could it be related to the sample size?
Many thanks,
Arthur
For some choices of model
Yes, your sample size is quite modest, especially for an analysis of 4 phenotypes, so all of your parameter estimates will be subject to a lot of sampling error.
