Twins in cardiovascular genetic research.

Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979) - 1 Feb 2001

Abstract excerpt

Twin studies have been largely responsible for showing the effects of genetic variance on a quantitative trait. The model is based on the fact that monozygotic twins share all genes in common, whereas dizygotic twins are related as siblings and share "on average" half their genes. Environmental confounders are minimized because twin children are usually exposed to similar environments. Blood pressure was first...
