Titre : Chaotic homes and school achievement: a twin study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ken B. HANSCOMBE, Auteur ; Claire Margaret Alison HAWORTH, Auteur ; Oliver S.P. DAVIS, Auteur ; Sara R. JAFFEE, Auteur ; Robert PLOMIN, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1212-1220 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Gene–environment correlation household chaos environmental confusion home environment school achievement twin studies behavioural genetics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Chaotic homes predict poor school performance. Given that it is known that genes affect both children’s experience of household chaos and their school achievement, to what extent is the relationship between high levels of noise and environmental confusion in the home, and children’s school performance, mediated by heritable child effects? This is the first study to explore the genetic and environmental pathways between household chaos and academic performance.
Method: Children’s perceptions of family chaos at ages 9 and 12 and their school performance at age 12 were assessed in more than 2,300 twin pairs. The use of child-specific measures in a multivariate genetic analysis made it possible to investigate the genetic and environmental origins of the covariation between children’s experience of chaos in the home and their school achievement.
Results: Children’s experience of family chaos and their school achievement were significantly correlated in the expected negative direction (r = −.26). As expected, shared environmental factors explained a large proportion (63%) of the association. However, genetic factors accounted for a significant proportion (37%) of the association between children’s experience of household chaos and their school performance.
Conclusions: The association between chaotic homes and poor performance in school, previously assumed to be entirely environmental in origin, is in fact partly genetic. How children’s home environment affects their academic achievement is not simply in the direction environment → child → outcome. Instead, genetic factors that influence children’s experience of the disordered home environment also affect how well they do at school. The relationship between the child, their environment and their performance at school is complex: both genetic and environmental factors play a role.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2011.02421.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=145

Titre : Commentary: The origins of intellectual disability Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Robert PLOMIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1103-1105 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Humans Intellectual Disability/epidemiology/genetics Risk Twins Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Despite the importance and prevalence of intellectual disability (ID), its origins have not been well understood until now. Lichtenstein et al. report in this issue findings from a population-based sample four times larger than all previous family studies of ID put together (Lichtenstein et al., 2022). From more than four million people, 37,787 individuals were identified with ID. Relative risks (RRs) are reported for relatives of ID probands (55,000 first-degree, 55,000second-degree, and 170,000 third-degree) as compared with matched relatives of individuals without ID. These relatives plus 400 pairs of twins in which at least one twin was diagnosed with ID yield an astonishing estimate of 95% heritability with no evidence for shared environmental influence in their model. Another important finding is that maternal half-siblings of ID individuals were at greater risk than paternal half-siblings, a maternal effect that could indicate X-chromosome linkage. Finally, profound and severe ID is etiologically distinct from the normal distribution, due in part to noninherited (de novo) genetic mutations and chromosomal abnormalities. However, 90% of individuals with ID are moderate or mild, and these represent the low end of the normal distribution of genetic influence on cognitive ability, which has important implications for DNA research on ID.
