Hermine H. Maes,Gaston Beunen,Robert Vlietinck,Michael C. Neale,Martine Thomis,Bavo Vanden Eynde,Roeland Lysens,J. Simons,Catherine Derom,Robert Derom +9 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that performance-related fitness characteristics are more determined by genetic factors than health-related Fitness was not supported, and genetic factors have the predominant effect on fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Panic disorder in women : a population-based twin study
TL;DR: It is suggested that in the general population panic disorder is only a moderately heritable condition, which is at variance with results from several previous investigations based on clinically ascertained samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
A twin study of early cannabis use and subsequent use and abuse/dependence of other illicit drugs.
TL;DR: A strong association between early cannabis use and use and abuse/dependence of other illicit drugs in the sample is found, and the role of correlated genetic factors with some evidence for a causal influence fits the data well.
Journal ArticleDOI

John M. Hettema,Seon-Sook An,Michael C. Neale,József Bukszár,E J C G van den Oord,Kenneth S. Kendler,Xiangning Chen +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that variations in the GAD1 gene may contribute to individual differences in N and impact susceptibility across a range of anxiety disorders and major depression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social support, depressed mood, and adjustment to stress: a genetic epidemiologic investigation.
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of 821 same-sex female twin pairs from a population-based registry assessed 8 dimensions of social support and social integration and found significant common environmental influences on five of these 8 measures and significant genetic influences on 5 of the 8.
