Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Twin studies using selected samples have shown high heritability for Alzheimer disease (AD). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate genetic and environmental influences on AD in a fully ascertained population of older twins, including like- and unlike-sex pairs. DESIGN: Five-group quantitative genetic model: male monozygotic twins, female monozygotic twins, male dizygotic twins, female dizygotic twins, and unlike-sex...
