Abstract excerpt
The contribution of genetic and environmental factors to variation in lipids and apolipoproteins has been estimated in previous twin and family studies. However, it is unclear whether there are sex and/or age differences in parameter estimates. We investigated a sample selected from the population-based Swedish Twin Registry of 725 like- and unlike-sex twin pairs, ages 17-85. Quantitative genetic methods were...
