Genetic influences on dietary variety - results from a twin study.
The heritability of variety seeking in the food domain was estimated from a large sample (N = 5,543) of middle age to elderly monozygotic and dizygotic twins from the "Virginia 30,000" twin study. Different dietary variety scores were calculated based on a semi-quantitative food choice questionnaire that assessed consumption frequencies and quantities for a list of 99 common foods. Results indi...
متن کاملA twin study of genetic and dietary influences on nephrolithiasis: a report from the Vietnam Era Twin (VET) Registry.
BACKGROUND Nephrolithiasis is a complex phenotype that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. We conducted a large twin study to examine genetic and nongenetic factors associated with stones. METHODS The VET Registry includes approximately 7500 male-male twin pairs born between 1939 to 1955 with both twins having served in the military from 1965 to 1975. In 1990, a mail and ...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental influences on plasma homocysteine: results from a Danish twin study.
BACKGROUND Increased plasma homocysteine has been linked to many clinical conditions including atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke. We assessed the genetic and environmental influences on homocysteine in adult twins and tested the influence of 3 candidate polymorphisms. METHODS Homocysteine was analyzed in 1206 healthy twins, who were genotyped for 3 polymorphisms: MTHFR 677C>T, MTR 2756A>G, ...
متن کاملA twin study of the genetic influences on the electroencephalogram.
Many attempts have been made to relate individual differences in the background electroencephalogram (EEG) to various psychiatric conditions (Glaser, 1963; Hill, 1963; Wilson, 1965) and equivalent investigations have recently been carried out with the averaged evoked response waveform (Shagass and Schwartz, 1961, 1962, 1963, and 1965; Jones et al, 1965; Callaway, Jones, and Donchin, 1970) and t...
متن کاملA twin study of genetic influences on epilepsy outcome.
The identification of genetic factors that confer susceptibility to the epilepsies has to date been the focus of genetic efforts in this field. Few studies have assessed the genetic contribution to disease course in epilepsy, yet an understanding of the genetic influences on epilepsy outcome is key to developing new therapeutic strategies. The aim of this study was to assess the genetic contrib...
