Heritability of Testosterone Levels in 12-Year-Old Twins and Its Relation to Pubertal Development

2006-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract The aim of this study was to estimate the heritability of variation in testosterone levels in 12-year-old children, and to explore the overlap in genetic and environmental influences on circulating testosterone levels and androgen-dependent pubertal development. Midday salivary testosterone samples were collected on 2 consecutive days in a sample of 183 unselected twin pairs. Androgen-induced pubertal dev...
