posted on 2023-06-08, 21:45 authored by Yulia Kovas, Eduard V Galajinsky, Michel Boivin, Gordon Harold, Alice Jones, Jean-Pascal Lemelin, Yu Luo, Stephen A Petrill, Robert Plomin, Tatiana Tikhomirova, Xinlin Zhou, Sergey MalykhThe Russian School Twin Registry (RSTR) was established in 2012, supported by a grant from the Government of the Russian Federation. The main aim of the registry is to contribute to Progress in Education through Gene-Environment Studies (PROGRESS). The formation of the registry is ongoing and it is expected that most schools in the Russian Federation (approximately 50,000 schools) will contribute data to the registry. With a total of 13.7 million students in Grades 1-11 (ages 7-18), the potential number of twin pairs exceeds 100,000. Apart from the large sample size and its representative nature, the RSTR has one unique feature: in collaboration with the International Advisory Committee to the Registry, genetically sensitive cross-cultural investigations are planned, aided by the use of the common assessment instruments. Other strengths of the registry include the assessment of a large sample of non-twin school children, including those studying in the same classes as the twins in the registry. It is hoped that the RSTR will provide an important research platform for national and international educationally relevant research. Copyright © The Authors 2012.
