“…The data were collected by the Netherlands Twin Register (NT), which includes the Young NTR (YNTR; van Beijsterveldt et al 2003; Boomsma et al 2002, 2006) that has recruited newborn twins and multiples at birth since 1987. The parents and teachers of the twins rate anxious depression in the children by age appropriate questionnaires from the Achenbach system of empirical assessment (ASEBA): the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL/1.5-5; Achenbach 1990, 1992a, b) and CBCL/4-18 (Verhulst et al 1996).…”

“…Random subsamples of the young twins were also invited to participate in experimental and laboratory studies (for example, the studies of genetics of cognition, attention and brain function) and provide a DNA sample (Boomsma et al 2006). Genotyping data were obtained for 1,148 children from 593 families and included 569 boys and 579 girls who also had at least one AP score.…”
