The Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR), established in 2001, is the first and largest population-based twin registry in China. Based on the CNTR, a new twin cohort was recruited from 2011 to study the relationship between environmental risk factors and chronic diseases. So far, 33,874 twin pairs from nine provinces have been recruited, in which hundreds of disease-discordant twin pairs and even thousands of exposure-discordant twin pairs were found in this cohort. The updates of the CNTR will be introduced in detail in this article.
中国国家双胞胎登记处(CNTR)成立于2001年,是中国首个也是最大的基于人群的双胞胎登记处。基于CNTR,2011年招募了一个新的双胞胎队列,以研究环境风险因素与慢性病之间的关系。到目前为止,已从九个省份招募了33874对双胞胎,在这个队列中发现了数百对疾病不一致的双胞胎对,甚至数千对暴露不一致的双胞胎对。本文将详细介绍CNTR的更新情况。
