Journal ArticleDOI
Assortative mating for relative weight: genetic implications.
David B. Allison,Michael C. Neale,Melissa I. Kezis,Vincent C. Alfonso,Stanley Heshka,Steven B. Heymsfield +5 more
TL;DR: This work investigated the extent to which engaged men and women in an archival longitudinal database were similar to each other in relative body weight prior to marriage and cohabitation, and found a small but statistically significant mate correlation for relative weight.
Book ChapterDOI
Latent Differential Equation Modeling with Multivariate Multi-Occasion Indicators
TL;DR: The current chapter explores one method for constructing and testing confirmatory latent variable structural models in which the latent constructs evolve continuously over time and have linear relationships between their derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal smoking during pregnancy and risk to boys' conduct disturbance: an examination of the causal hypothesis.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and boys' Cd symptoms may be attributed to the transmission of a latent Cd factor and not to a direct effect of the smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of twin and family studies on neuroanatomic phenotypes and typical neurodevelopment.
J. Eric Schmitt,Lisa T. Eyler,Jay N. Giedd,William S. Kremen,Kenneth S. Kendler,Michael C. Neale +5 more
TL;DR: The literature at present represents a pioneering effort in the pursuit of answers to many challenging neurobiological questions, and there is evidence of significant genetically mediated relationships between intelligence and brain structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genetic Association Between Neocortical Volume and General Cognitive Ability Is Driven by Global Surface Area Rather Than Thickness
Eero Vuoksimaa,Matthew S. Panizzon,Chi-Hua Chen,Mark Fiecas,Lisa T. Eyler,Christine Fennema-Notestine,Donald J. Hagler,Bruce Fischl,Carol E. Franz,Amy J. Jak,Michael J. Lyons,Michael C. Neale,Daniel A. Rinker,Wesley K. Thompson,Ming T. Tsuang,Anders M. Dale,William S. Kremen +16 more
TL;DR: Using multivariate genetic analysis in 515 middle-aged twins, it is demonstrated that both the phenotypic and genetic associations between neocortical volume and GCA are driven primarily by surface area rather than thickness.
