Saliva sample

Saliva was collected using a cotton swab or a collection device, such as a tube or container (passive drool).

In NTR projects YC_BS1 and YC_BS2, children were asked to collect saliva at home on two consecutive days, for collection protocol see: https://doi.org/10.1017/thg.2012.4. In NTR project YE_ATTEF2, saliva samples were collected at home (2 days/5 samples per day) and during the visit to the university (1 day/1 sample). In NTR projects YE_COG12 and YE_COG18, saliva samples were obtained using the Salivette Sampling device to obtain four samples per day, on predetermined times, on two consecutive days (see: https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1025321609994), and by passive drool just before lunch, on two consecutive days (see: https://doi.org/10.1375/twin.9.4.558).

Measure was collected within the following wave(s):

YC_BS1 Wave

Wave alternate title	Brain Scale measurement 1 YC_BS1, Brain Scale measurement t0, BrainScale age 9
Short description of the wave	The YC_BS1 project was the first measurement in the Dutch longitudinal Brain Scale study in which twins, their siblings and their parents were assessed at three year intervals. YC_BS1 targeted 9-year old twins (mean age = 9.1 years, SD = 0.51 years) born between 1995 and 1996, and their 9-14 year old siblings (mean age = 11.9 years, SD = 1.16 years) born between 1990 and 1997. The main aim of the Brain Scale project was to explore to what extent genetic and environmental factors explain individual differences in brain development and cognition. Data collection included psychometric IQ tests, a comprehensive neuropsychological testing protocol, and parental and self-ratings of behavioral and emotional problems. Physical maturation was measured through assessment of Tanner stages. Hormonal levels (cortisol, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, testosterone, and estrogens) were assessed in urine and saliva. Brain scans were acquired using 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which provided volumetric measures and measures of cortical thickness. Buccal swabs were collected for DNA isolation for future candidate gene and genome-wide analysis studies.

YE_ATTEF2 Wave

Wave alternate title	Genetics of attention and executive functioning measurement 2 YE_ATTEF2
Short description of the wave	The YE_ATTEF2 project was the second measurement of a longitudinal study on the source of individual differences of cognition, attention, and executive functioning from preschool to young adulthood. This project included the measurement five years after baseline (YE_ATTEF1) among 12-year old twin pairs (mean age = 12.4 years, SD = 0.14 years) and their 8-16 year old siblings (mean age = 11.97 years, SD = 2.55 years), and additionally recruited new twin pairs and siblings of the twin pairs. Behavioral data were collected with surveys filled in by parents and teachers (Conners, Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD symptoms and Normal behavior Scale (SWAN), Teacher Report Form (TRF)) or filled in by children themselves (Youth Self Report (YSR)). To measure pubertal development, children filled in the Tanner questionnaire. Neurocognitive abilities were assessed with computerized ANT tasks, Flanker, Simon and Stroop. IQ was assessed with WISC-R. DNA was collected to determine zygosity and for genotyping SNP’S at candidate gene loci. Saliva was collected to assess cortisol concentrations.

YE_COG18 Wave

Wave alternate title	Cognitive abilities of 18-year-old twins YE_COG18
Short description of the wave	The YE_COG18 project is the fifth measurement of a longitudinal study into the development of intelligence and problem behaviour (waves one and two not included in this catalogue, wave 3: YE_COG10, wave 4: YE_COG12), to which additional participants were recruited (twins with siblings and their parents). It targeted 18-year old twins (mean age = 18.1 years, SD = 0.5 years) born between 1986 and 1991, their 8-35 year old siblings (mean age = 18.8 years, SD = 4.9 years) born between 1970 and 1998, and their parents (mean age = 48.9 years, SD = 4.14 years) born between 1942 and 1965. The test protocol consisted of a physical part and a psychological part. Physical measurements included cardiovascular functioning (assessed with the VU-AMS device), a physical examination with basic anthropometric measurements and the collection of saliva, DNA and fingerprints. The psychological part consisted of a series of cognitive tests that measured the following abilities: intelligence (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, WISC-R or Revised Amsterdamse Kinder Intelligentie Test, RAKIT); inhibition (Stroop); spontaneous production of words (Verbal fluency); verbal learning and memory (California Verbal Learning Task, CVLT); emotion recognition (Reading the mind in the eyes); perceptual speed (Π inspection time task); spatial short term memory (n-back task and Corsi block tapping task). Furthermore, some questionnaires were administered to the participants (Autism-Spectrum Quotient, Tanner self-report), mothers of the twins (Social Responsiveness Scale) and research assistants (Test Observation form).

The NTR was established in 1987 and has enrolled around 120.000 twins and a roughly equal number of their relatives. The majority of twin families have participated one or more times in survey studies on a host of epidemiological variables including social demography, personality, lifestyle, somatic and mental health, and subsamples took part in biomaterial collection (e.g. DNA) and dedicated projects for e.g. neuropsychological, biomarker, and behavioral traits. The recruitment into the NTR is fully inclusive without any restrictions on enrolment. The NTR is committed to actively seek the commitment of its participants to science and their continued involvement in NTR research by maintaining a website, electronic newsletters, and the MijnNTR portal that provides personalized feedback to participants. The NTR resources, e.g. the longitudinal phenotyping, the extended pedigree structures, and the multi-generation genotyping allow for future twin-family research that will contribute to gene discovery, causality modelling, and studies of genetic and cultural inheritance of behavioral traits and mental and physical health. In the CID data catalogue, only the NTR projects for children and adolescents (<18 years of age) have been included.

The main aim of the Brain Scale project was to explore to what extent genetic and environmental factors explain individual differences in brain development and cognition. Data collection included psychometric IQ tests, a comprehensive neuropsychological testing protocol, and parental and self-ratings of behavioral and emotional problems. Physical maturation was measured through assessment of Tanner stages. Hormonal levels were assessed in urine and saliva.
