Itâs fine. Studies donât just use identical twins but twins in general. You are equating my two claims and attacking claims that I havenât even made, I never talked about âwhether or not some disease has a genetic component to it, when a twin study shows that there is?â. I made a claim that twins, even identical twins, donât share exactly the same DNA and provided a link to an article that gave more information, and I made a second claim that twin studies were flawed and provided that claim with a link to an article with more information about that. All this stuff about that it canât help us find diseases or that twin studies âshouldnât be usedâ are claims I never made.
EDIT:
Iâm not a biologist and will probably defer to any biologist entering this thread
For the record my study has some biostatistics, but it isnât my strongest field and Iâm mostly leaning on stuff my professors have explained:
I will also probably defer to a biologist/âbiostatistician.
