Understanding coronary artery disease using twin studies.

Heart (British Cardiac Society) - 1 Mar 2013

Mangino Massimo, Spector Tim

Abstract excerpt

Twins have fascinated human communities since the beginning of recorded history. In cardiovascular research, twin studies played a pivotal role in the discovery of the genetic basis of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction and most of their associated risk factors. Matched for age, prenatal and postnatal environmental factors, discordant monozygous twin pairs provide a means to enhance the power to...
