This fantastic new study, led by colleagues at @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social and by our own Professor Patricia Munroe, is shining new light on the genetic basis for differences between the way twins experience their environments.
Researchers have found #genetic factors that may make people more or less sensitive to the environments they experience.

It is the largest genetics study of identical #twins to date.
