A test of the equal environment assumption (EEA) in multivariate twin studies.

Twin research and human genetics : the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies - 1 Jun 2006

Derks Eske M, Dolan Conor V, Boomsma Dorret I

Abstract excerpt

In the classic twin design, estimation of genetic and environmental effects is based on the assumption that environmental influences are shared to the same extent by monozygotic and dizygotic twins (equal environment assumption, EEA). We explore the conditions in which the EEA can be tested based on multivariate phenotypic data. We focus on the test whether the correlation between shared environmental factors in...
