## INTRODUCTlON Since the appearance of the first description of tumorous cell masses in Drosophila melanogaster (Bridges, '16), nuinerous workers have investigated the nature, hereditary background, histology, and common sites of incidence of these neoplasms (Hartung, '42 ;

## Abstract ## Background Acute appendicitis is common but the aetiology is unclear. This study examined the heritability of acute appendicitis. ## Methods The study included twin pairs with known zygosity born between 1959 and 1985. Individuals with acute appendicitis were found by record linka
## Abstract Estimates of the extent of genetic admixture in biracial hybrid populations may be of potential use in the identification of the genetic component of disease.
The heritabilities of human blood cell characteristics were estimated in a study of 206 pairs of young adult twins, male and female. White cell numbers, indices related to circulating red cell mass (haemoglobin, red cell count, and haematocrit), and platelet numbers and size all appeared to be accou
## Abstract ## Objective The current study explores the extent to which genetic and environmental factors influence liability to binge eating in the absence of compensatory behaviors (BE) in a populationβbased sample of twins. ## Method Questionnaire data on 8,045 sameβsex and oppositeβsex twins
AKR mice, which spontaneously develop >90% incidence of lymphocytic leukemia (LL), crossed with SJL mice, which show >80% incidence of Hodgkin'slike reticulum-cell sarcoma (RCS), produced FI progeny showing incidences of 30% LL and 0% RCS. Thus, each strain possesses one or more dominant genes capab
