We are delighted to announce that the TEDS data are now easier to discover and access than ever before. We have 25 years of longitudinal behavioural and cognitive development on ~10,000 twin pairs funded by Medical Research Council Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience King's College London teds.ac.uk

We are excited to share the new "Polygenic Scores" page on our (open access) #TEDS data dictionary! It details which polygenic scores are available for researchers working with the TEDS data, and technical details around their use. See more here --> teds.ac.uk/datadictionary…
