TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Twins' injuries: genetic and environmental risks / twin research reports / human interest stories JO - Twin research and human genetics A1 - Segal, Nancy L. SP - 213 EP - 216 VL - 14 IS - 2 N2 - The relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors to unintentional injuries are of interest to families with young twins. A recent study found that childhood injuries are explained mostly by child-specific environmental factors. Next, twin research reviews of the association between periodontal disease and cancer, secular trends in gestational age and birthweight, and language development in hearing and deaf co-twins are also summarized. Interesting reports of newborn twins, twin-like relationships, twin interactions and missed twin relationships are presented.
