Autistic traits in childhood and post‐traumatic stress disorder as young adults: a cohort study

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Despite the higher prevalence of childhood traumatic experiences and post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in autistic adults, research on trauma‐related psychopathology and autistic traits in young people is lacking. This study examined if high autistic traits in childhood predispose individuals to traumatic experiences, the development of ...

A Twin Study of Genetic Contributions to Hippocampal Morphology in Schizophrenia

Neurobiology of Disease, 2002
Our goal was to establish whether altered hippocampal morphology represents a trait marker for genetic vulnerability in schizophrenia. We outlined the hippocampi on high-resolution MR images obtained from matched samples of control and discordant ...

Social Comparison Orientation in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins [PDF]

Twin Research and Human Genetics, 2017
Twin research has offered evidence that monozygotic (MZ) twins are more socially close than dizygotic (DZ) twins, but has not paid much attention to the way twins compare themselves with their co-twin. The few studies in this area suggest that ‘horizontal comparisons’ (social comparison motivated by solidarity or communion with others) matter more for ...

Examining the association between cognitive ability and emotional problems across childhood using a genetically informative design: could there be a causal relationship?

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Emotional problems co‐occur with difficulties in verbal and nonverbal cognitive ability, yet the pathways underlying their association remain poorly understood: It is unclear whether effects may be causal, and to what extent they may run from cognition to emotion, or vice versa.

Predicting adolescent disordered eating and behaviours: exploring environmental moderators of polygenic risk

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the risk of developing disordered eating, with twin studies demonstrating environmental factors moderate genetic susceptibility. To date, gene–environment interactions leveraging polygenic risk scores (PRS) have not been studied in disordered eating phenotypes beyond anorexia nervosa (AN).

Maternal expressions of warmth and negativity and adolescent mental health: using longitudinal monozygotic twin‐difference analyses to approach causal inference

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Emotions that mothers express about their offspring are associated with offspring mental health during childhood, but little research has explored whether this extends into adolescence. We investigated associations between maternal warmth and negativity towards twin offspring at age 10, and subsequent mental health outcomes in early and late

Are Wednesday's Children Full of Woe? Children's Differences in Personality Are Independent of Day of Birth

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Nursery rhymes, which are rich in literary devices, benefit children's language learning. Less is known about the influence that nursery rhymes' messages may have on children's development. We focused on “Monday's Child,” a popular nursery rhyme that alleges children's day of the week of birth forecasts their differences in ...

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Medical demography and epidemiology: dizygotic twins [PDF]

European Journal of Epidemiology, 2009
Demography is the statistical study of populations, epidemiology of health of populations. Fascinating challenges for future research, shared by epidemiology and demography, are to be found in the human life course, how the life course is transmitted over generations, how the healthy life is shaped by dynamics within the life course and how the life ...

Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: New Therapeutic Approaches

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 45, Issue 3, September 2025.
Primary progressive MS affects 10%–15% of MS patients, causing irreversible neurological impairment. Drugs like ocrelizumab show promise, while high‐dose biotin, simvastatin, and coenzyme Q10 are under investigation. Gene therapy and stem cell treatments also show potential.
