Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to quantify the relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors to variations in dental arch breadth, length and palatal height in a sample of Australian twins, and to estimate heritabilities using modern model-fitting methods. Dental casts of 20 male and 24 female monozygous (MZ) twin pairs, 17 male and 8 female dizygous (DZ) twin pairs, and 9 opposite-sexed DZ twin pairs...
