Longitudinal Israeli Study of Twins (LIST)
The LIST aims to investigate children’s prosocial development from phenotypic, genetic, and environmental perspectives. It includes over 1,600 families of twins born between 2004 and 2005. Of these, 63 families were identified where one of the twins has a disability and the other is typically developing. Twins were recruited from administrative data provided by the Ministry of the Interior.
