Using MZ twins in experimental research to test for the presence of a genotype-environment interaction effect.

Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae - 1 Jan 1990

Bouchard C, Pérusse L, Leblanc C

Abstract excerpt

Despite some evidence that genotype-environment interaction (G x E) effects may be involved in the variation observed in behavioral and biological traits, few attempts have been made to detect and quantify this component of genetic variation in humans. We propose that one way to achieve this goal is to challenge several genotypes in a similar manner, submitting both members of several MZ twin pairs to an...
