Genetic and environmental influences on height from infancy to early adulthood : an individualbased pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-06-23)
Height variation is known to be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, but a systematic description of how their influences differ by sex, age and global regions is lacking. We conducted an individual-based ...
Serotonin transporter promoter methylation in peripheral cells and neural responses to negative stimuli : a study of adolescent monozygotic twins
(Springer Nature, 2018-08-08)
Several studies have examined associations between peripheral DNA methylation patterns of the serotonin transporter
gene (SLC6A4) promoter and symptoms of depression and anxiety. The SLC6A4 promoter methylation has also ...
Twin’s birth-order differences in height and body mass index from birth to old age: a pooled study of 26 twin cohorts participated in the CODATwins project
(Australian Academic Press, 2016-04)
We analyzed birth order differences in means and variances of height and body mass index (BMI) in monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins from infancy to old age. The data were derived from the international CODATwins ...
