I will discuss
NTR: a longitudinal twin-family study
Why twins
Not only twins: Multigeneration
An example: ACTION
Netherlands Twin Register• Established around 1987• Recruits new-born twins -> Young NTR• Recruits adolescent / adult twins -> ANTR• Recruits twins, their parents and sibs/spouses/etc
• Surveys, projects, biobank, record linkage
Netherlands Twin Register
NTR history and recruitment
~1989: approach all city councils in the Netherlands
First research project (1983): cardiovascular risk factors in Amsterdam twins and parents
~ 1987: ‘Hello baby’
NTR website, press, Twinfo, via family members, etc.
Number of twin pairs per thousand deliveries
WW2
Average maternal age at birth of children in
Netherlands

Twin studies
Monozygotic (MZ) pairs:(nearly) 100% genetically identical
Dizygotic (DZ) pairs: share on average 50% of segregating genes
heritability = 2(rMZ – rDZ)Genetic Structural Equation modeling
MZ(monozygotic)
DZ (dizygotic)
Add siblings:Increased powerSocial interaction‘twin’ effects
Add parents:Cultural inheritanceAssortmentGE correlation
Aggression scores in MZ (F) twin pairs: twin 1- vs twin 2
Family members resemble each other more than unrelated Ss
MZ twins resemble each other more than DZ twins or sibs

Genetic or cultural transmission?
If this parameter is significant: evidence for cultural transmission (from Family environment to Phenotype in kids)
