  1. Childhood twin cohabitation increases DNA methylation familial correlation in humans (0.16 (95%CI: 0.12-0.20) per decade for MZ pairs; 0.13 (95%CI: 0.07-0.20) for DZ pairs).

    “increased with the time of twins living together during childhood at rates of 0.16 (95%CI: 0.12-0.20) for MZ pairs and 0.13 (95%CI: 0.07-0.20) for DZ pairs per decade”
