[Contribution of hereditary factors to the variability of growth at different stages of individual development (twin studies)]
Abstract
A study of monozygotic and dizygotic twins from the moment of their birth till 13 years of age showed that differences in twin genesis and conditions of prenatal development exert no statistically significant influence on formation of average indices. At different stages of ontogenesis contribution of the genetic determinant estimated by index H was different as to a degree of manifestation, directivity (+; -) sex-dependent peculiarities of realization.
