Abstract
Evidence for maternal effects on plasma cholesterol was found by comparing the variance between maternal and paternal half siblings obtained from 83 families of monozygotic twins pairs (424 children). Maternal effects accounted for about 1/5 of the total variance.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
