Proper Citation: Minnesota Center for Twin and Family Research (RRID:SCR_006948)

Description: Composed of many projects, including the Minnesota Twin Family Study (MTFS) and The Sibling Interaction and Behavior Study (SIBS), this research center seeks to identify genetic and environmental influences on development and psychological traits. Both projects are longitudinal research studies including twins, siblings, and parents. Over 9800 individuals have contributed to these exciting projects! By studying twins and siblings and their families, we can estimate how genes and environment interact to influence character, strengths, vulnerabilities and values. Participants in the MTFS include families with same-sex identical or fraternal twins who were born in Minnesota. The SIBS study is comprised of adoptive and biological siblings and their parents. Most participants partake in day-long visits to the MCTFR, and due to the longitudinal nature of our projects, they return every 3-4 years for follow-up visits.
