Personality similarity in twins reared apart and together
- and Evolutionary Psychology – ISSN 1474-7049 – Volume 1. 2003. 94 One’s Twin: Perceived Social Closeness and Familiarity
, 1988
"... We administered the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ) to 217 monozygotic and 114 dizygotic reared-together adult twin pairs and 44 monozygotic and 27 dizygotic reared-apart adult twin pairs. A four-parameter biometric model (incorporating genetic, additive versus nonadditive, shared f ..."

Genetic Regulation of Immunoglobulin and Specific Antibody Levels in Twins Reared Apart
"... We studied the effect of the same genetic but different envi-ronmental factors on total immunoglobulin and specific antibody levels in twins reared apart. Sera were analyzed from 26 monozygotic (MZ) and 10 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs, who were separated on average 2 mo after birth and reared apart. To ..."

Genetic and Environmental Influences on Eating Behavior- A Study of Twin Pairs Reared Apart or Reared Together
"... This study examined the relative influence of genetic versus environmental factors on specific aspects of eating behavior. Adult monozygotic twins (22 pairs and 3 singleton reared apart, 38 pairs and 9 singleton reared together, age 18–76 years, BMI 17–43 kg/m2) completed the Three Factor Eating Que ..."

STUDIES ON IDENTICAL TWINS REARED APART
"... Ten studies on identical twins reared apart are reviewed to determine if they substantiate a genetic component of schizophrenia. These studies have not eliminated likely social causes of schizophrenia in the twins, and therefore the origins of schizophrenia remain unsolved. Adherents of the theory t ..."

that schizophrenia is genetically inherited, point to studies on iden-tical twins reared apart as verifying their position. These studies have found several pairs of wins concordant for schizophrenia in which the two individuals were brought up apart from each other. Given this social separation, the explanation
Normal and abnormal personality traits: Evidence for genetic and environmental relationships in the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart
- Journal of Personality
, 2002
"... ABSTRACT Recent studies have demonstrated substantial correlations between normal and abnormal personality traits. Yet little is known about how these correlations are mediated genetically and environmentally: Do normal and abnormal personality traits stem from the same underlying genes and environ ..."

Additive genetic and nonshared environmental correlations between scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) -an index of abnormal
An Excess of the PisAlIele in Dizygotic Twins and Their Mothers
"... Summary. A significant excess of the aI-antitrypsin (protease inhibitor) PiS allele has been found in 147 pairs of dizygotic (DZ) twins, but frequencies in 170 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) twins do not differ from those in a sample of 1007 blood donors. In 51 mothers of DZ twins the frequency of the Pi ..."

ARTICLE HLA and Genomewide Allele Sharing in Dizygotic Twins
"... Gametic selection during fertilization or the effects of specific genotypes on the viability of embryos may cause a skewed transmission of chromosomes to surviving offspring. A recent analysis of transmission distortion in humans reported significant excess sharing among full siblings. Dizygotic (DZ ..."

(DZ) twin pairs are a special case of the simultaneous survival of two genotypes, and there have been reports of DZ pairs with excess allele sharing around the HLA locus, a candidate locus for embryo survival. We performed an allele-sharing study of 1,592 DZ twin pairs from two independent Australian
