While both genetics and environment have a role to play in the relationship between height and cognition, environmental factors appear to be responsible for two-thirds of the height-intelligence correlation, according to research conducted on cross-trait (height and intelligence), cross-twin correlations between monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs.

Causes and consequences of early life health

The study included data from 1,797 twins, including 634 twin pairs (437 monozygotic, 150 dizygotic and 47 indeterminate pairs) and 529 individual twins with a mean age of 36.

Sleep duration linked to weight gain

Having non identical twins - also called dizygotic twinning - is an inherited trait passed through the maternal side of the family.

Family Life: Top tips for raising twins

In the study, researchers tested 74 pairs of monozygotic (MZ, or identical) twins and 35 pairs of dizygotic (DZ, or fraternal) twins to determine the lowest concentration needed for each twin to correctly identify a citric acid solution as sour.

Twin study: 'sour taste' may be in the genes

There is a 75% concordance of celiac disease in monozygotic twins, while dizygotic twins are not different from siblings, indicating the strong genetic contribution to disease.

Genetic testing for celiac disease

Evidence supporting this hypothesis comes from monozygotic and dizygotic twin studies (Eisenberg et al.

Promoting altruism in the classroom

Interestingly, in patients younger than 50, concordance was dramatically different between monozygotic twins (where four of four twin pairs were concordant) and dizygotic twins (where only 2 of 12 twin pairs were concordant).
