Genetic and Environmental Effects on the Development of White Matter Hyperintensities in a Middle Age Twin Population

Genetic and Environmental Effects on the Development of White Matter Hyperintensities in a Middle Age Twin Population

<i>Introduction:</i> White matter hyperintensities (WMH) indicate white matter brain lesions in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which can be used as a marker for brain aging and cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative disorders. Twin studies revealed substantial but not uniform WMH herit...
