Twin Registry

A twin registry is a database that collects information about twin pairs, including their genetic, health, and environmental data. Researchers use it to study how genetics and environment influence traits, diseases, and behaviors by comparing identical and fraternal twins. This helps improve understanding of hereditary factors and how they interact with life experiences. Twin registries are valuable tools in medical and behavioral research, offering insights that can lead to better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various conditions.
