Twins in metabolic and diabetes research: what do they tell us?

Current opinion in clinical nutrition and metabolic care - 1 Sept 2007

Vaag Allan, Poulsen Pernille

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to provide a critical update of the impact of the 'thrifty phenotype hypothesis' on metabolism, and its implications for heritability estimates as obtained in so-called classical twin studies. RECENT FINDINGS: Our recent studies demonstrated a complex age or time-dependent relationship between different and independent markers of an adverse intrauterine...
