Are twins a matter of genetics?
Various studies have been conducted to determine why twins with the same DNA have differences in the development of certain inherited disorders.
Studies have yielded incredible results, showing that twins are not as genetically alike as has always been talked about.
In 2001 scientists showed that twins who followed different types of diets had differences in their cholesterol levels. On the other hand, in 2002, another study was carried out that determined that twins present significant differences in terms of their emotional stability in terms of some factors such as their relationship with their relatives or the fact of attending church.
In 2004, a study was conducted at Duke University that indicated that Alzheimer’s usually affects both twins in only 40% of cases.
Some studies also determined that analyzing the percentage of cases in which both twins develop the same disorder, it was concluded that bipolar disorder would have an estimated heritability of 93%, occurring in 42.9% of identical twins. As for conduct disorders, it would be 80%.
Depression, on the other hand, would have a heritability percentage of 37% in twins. While schizophrenia would affect 10.2%.
We know that it is not easy because of all the effort we must make so that our children have an excellent upbringing, but having two children as a gift at the same time is something that we must always thank life for.
Children are the greatest blessing that can come to a family.
