Genetic variance in the pattern of the growth curve for height: a longitudinal analysis of male twins.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Hauspie R C, Bergman P, Bielicki T, Susanne C

Abstract excerpt

Genetic aspects of the pattern of growth and of short-term variations in growth velocity for height were studied in a sample of 44 MZ and 42 DZ twin pairs from the Wroclaw Longitudinal Twin Study. The data consists of serial measurements of height, taken between 8.5 years of age and adulthood. The intra-pair resemblance of the pattern of attained height was quantified by means of the average Euclidean distance...
