Brisbane Adolescent Twin Study: Outline of study methods and research projects
Open accessAbstract
An ongoing program at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) uses a resource of adolescent twins (2720 individuals) and their singleton siblings (1179), constituting 1324 families. A large number ( > 500 families) have participated in two main studies (the mole and the cognition studies) with the aim of identifying genetic polymorphisms associated with moliness and cognitive function respectively, as well as several other projects that run in parallel with these studies. Most recently 950 families were invited to participate in a mail and phone study assessing reading ability, taste and smell sensitivity, and health and wellbeing. Although the program measures a broad range of phenotypes, the common focus of all studies is to reveal the genetic architecture underlying the trait, and thereby facilitate the search for quantitative trait loci. The present paper provides an overview of the studies, and highlights the significance of the resource, as well as some of the unique aspects of twin research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
