Genetic and environmental influences on human dental variation: a critical evaluation of studies involving twins.

Archives of oral biology - 1 Dec 2009

Townsend Grant, Hughes Toby, Luciano Michelle, Bockmann Michelle, Brook Alan

Abstract excerpt

Utilising data derived from twins and their families, different approaches can be applied to study genetic and environmental influences on human dental variation. The different methods have advantages and limitations and special features of the twinning process are important to consider. Model-fitting approaches have shown that different combinations of additive genetic variance (A), non-additive genetic variance...
