| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We asked adult twins registered at the Center for Twin Research, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, to participate in this research. We obtained consent from 257 between the ages of 20 and 90, most of whom are monozygotic twins, and collected stool samples and lifestyle questionnaires. Before the COVID-19 epidemic, some had concurrent sampling data (cognitive function, blood tests, DNA information, etc.) .
In this project, we investigated a new analysis method that focuses on the differences between monozygotic twins. Lactobacillus had a significantly smaller difference in composition ratio within a pair, suggesting that it is less sensitive to environmental factors. On the other hand, it was considered that with a significantly large difference within a pair was highly sensitive to environmental factors. By focusing on the differences between twins in this way, we investigated a method of extracting bacteria with high specificity that considers the influence of genetics.

一卵性双生児のデータから、これまでにない一卵性双生児間の差分に着目する解析方法で検討したLactobacillus属は有意にペア内の構成比の差が小さかったことから、これは環境因子に対する感受性が低いと考えられた。一方で有意にペア内の構成比の差が大きかった菌は、環境因子に対する感受性が高いと考えた。このように双生児間の差分に着目して、高血圧と腸内細菌叢との関連をみたところ、先行研究と同じ関連性を示す菌が抽出され、遺伝の影響を考慮しても高血圧との関連があると考えられた。
このように双生児間の差分に着目することで、遺伝の影響を考慮した特異度の高い細菌を抽出する方法を検討した。
