## 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
## Objective: To assess genetic and environmental influences on low back and neck pain in a classic twin design and to examine the extent to which these are explained by structural changes seen on magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and psychological and lifestyle variables. ## Methods: The subjects
Despite the major finding of a genetic defect being responsible for the Parkinson's disease (PD) phenotype in some kindreds with dominantly transmitted PD, the role of inheritance in the cause of the more widespread sporadic form of the disease is still unclear. Twin studies are a classic tool for a
