Anxiety and fear are emotions often intertwined in response to aversive stimuli, complicating efforts to differentiate them and understand their distinct consequences. This study explores the common genetic and environmental factors contributing to the co-occurrence of anxiety disorders and dimensions of the revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (rRST). A sample of 356 monozygotic (22.

Background: Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have established association between genetic variants and pulmonary function across various ethnics, whereas such associations are scarcely reported in Chinese adults. Therefore, we conducted an GWAS to explore relationships between genetic variants and pulmonary function among middle-aged Chinese dizygotic twins and further validated the top variants using data from the UK Biobank (UKB).
Methods: In the discovery phase, 139 dizygotic twin pairs were drawn from the Qingdao Twin Registry.

Background & Aims: Suboptimal diets increase morbidity and mortality risk. Epigenetic clocks are algorithms that can assess health and lifespan, even at a young age, before clinical manifestations of diseases. We investigated the association between dietary patterns and biological aging in young adult twins.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how genetics and environment affect changes in palatal (roof of the mouth) shape during tooth development.
- Using 3D digital models of dental casts from 228 twin pairs, researchers measured different dimensions of the palate at various dental stages and analyzed the data with genetic modeling techniques.
- Results showed that while most palatal dimensions increased over time, genetic factors played a significant role, especially in the posterior region, and non-shared environmental factors were also important throughout development.
