Quantitative variability of 342 plasma proteins in a human twin population

Molecular Systems Biology, 2015
The degree and the origins of quantitative variability of most human plasma proteins are largely unknown. Because the twin study design provides a natural opportunity to estimate the relative contribution of heritability and environment to different ...

Fingerprinting stress: stylolite and calcite twinning paleopiezometry revealing the complexity of progressive stress patterns during folding-the case of the Monte Nero anticline in the Apennines, Italy [PDF]

, 2016
In this study we show for the first time how quantitative stress estimates can be derived by combining calcite twinning and stylolite roughness stress fingerprinting techniques in a fold-and-thrust belt.

The Twin Interdisciplinary Neuroticism Study [PDF]

Twin Research and Human Genetics, 2012
The Twin Interdisciplinary Neuroticism Study (TWINS) is a three-wave study including >800 twin pairs from the northern part of the Netherlands. The aim of the study is to unravel why neuroticism reflects vulnerability to mental disorders. In this study, we focus on possible mechanisms underlying this vulnerability and their genetic and environmental

Effect of genetic and environmental influences on cardiometabolic risk factors: a twin study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2011
Background Both genetic and environmental factors play a role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The magnitude of genetic and environmental influences may vary in different populations and can be investigated by twin ...

Common variation near ROBO2 is associated with expressive vocabulary in infancy [PDF]

, 2014
Twin studies suggest that expressive vocabulary at ~24 months is modestly heritable. However, the genes influencing this early linguistic phenotype are unknown. Here we conduct a genome-wide screen and follow-up study of expressive vocabulary in toddlers

A Comprehensive Neuropsychiatric Study of Elderly Twins: The Older Australian Twins Study

Twin Research and Human Genetics, 2009
AbstractThe Older Australian Twins Study (OATS) was recently initiated to investigate genetic and environmental factors and their associations and interactions in healthy brain ageing and ageing-related neurocognitive disorders. The study extends the classic MZ-DZ design to include one or two equivalently aged siblings for each twin pair and utilizes ...

The Nature and Nurture of Congenital Amusia: A Twin Case Study

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
In this article, we report the first documented case of congenital amusia in dizygotic twins. The female twin pair was 27 years old at the time of testing, with normal hearing and above average intelligence. Both had formal music lesson from the age of 8–
