Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 You may be right. The "breakthru" of the identical twin studies was to find identical twins raised separately-- that is with different environmental conditions. But with the vaccine schedule the same -- hm -- environmental conditions are the same, even if the children are raised in separate households. Maybe we can prove that "concordance for autism among identical twins" is increasing over time with more vaccines.OK I'm almost ready to submit a research proposal! Think autism speaks will be interested? Re:Influence of genes IMHO,all that highlights is that,being twins,they likely get their toxic vaxs at the same time? Hmmm???

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 The largest study using twins found the concordance in identical twins to be 60% for autism. It found 0% in fraternal twins. http://books.google.com/books?id=EIgGKcp0SpkC & pg=PA276 & lpg=PA276 & dq=twins+autism\ +25+sets+60 & source=web & ots=JXK2p4-txN & sig=kGf7zUMsNA29A4kXSKh-KFKebB0 (sorry thaqt I was unable to google the true citation.) One thing that many will do is cite a much smaller study, some of which found much higher concordance. Whether this was by chance or design depends upon your level of cynicism. ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Check out the hottest 2008 models today at Autos. http://autos./new_cars.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I believe the relative positioning in womb of identicals affect the mixture of nutrients from the host. Womb environment is not as identical for all in the litter as some would presume (as in the study below). Sorry, I don't know if they've figured a way to control for this.
