Twins and Congenital Heart Disease [PDF]
Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae, 1961 Summary and ConclusionsThe number of twins in 942 families where the propositus had a congenital malformation of the heart has been studied. The 38 pairs were not significantly more than could be expected by chance: nor were the 21 pairs where one member had a malformation of the heart. In 16 pairs, one was affected and the other normal; and in 5 pairs,

Crohn's disease in monozygotic twins [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1986 Summary A pair of monozygotic twins with Crohn's disease is described. Both have ileocaecal disease and suffered their first symptoms after living apart for 6 years. The pathogenic role of hereditary and environmental factors is discussed in the light of this and previous reports of twins with Crohn's disease.
