Putting the 'human' back in genetics: modeling the extended kinships of twins.

Twin research and human genetics : the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies - 1 Feb 2009

Eaves Lindon

Abstract excerpt

Few papers have attempted to address the potential of extended kinships of twins to resolve the complexities of biological and cultural inheritance in humans. Since the mid-80s these issues have largely been buried beneath the quest for specific genes that contribute to individual differences in complex traits and liability to disease. The articles of Keller et al. and Medland and Keller (current issue) revisit...
