MATR + RESEARCH
Past studies
Twin research around the world provides scientific insight into many important areas. Scientists have worked with MATR twins in the past to explore topics such as:
- Epilepsy
- Cardiovascular disease
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Obesity
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Clinical depression
- Anxiety
- Pregnancy complications

By identifying a genetic or environmental component to these and other health issues, early prevention and treatment efforts can be enhanced, thus considerably improving public health.
