Epigenetic Basis of Twin Discordance in Diseases: Future Benefits
Gynecology Obstetrics & Reproductive Medicine, 2018 Monozygotic twins share the same genotype since they are derived from the same zygote. However, monozygotic (MZ) twin siblings frequently present many phenotypic differences, such as their susceptibilities to diseases.

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1997 Besides familial Alzheimer's disease (AD), the genetic susceptibility has also been found in sporadic cases of AD, mostly related to the apolipoprotein E polymorphism. The penetrance of AD is determined by age and probably by environmental exposure. Gene-environment interaction of a disease can be examined through studies of twins.

Kawasaki Disease in Monozygotic Twins [PDF]
Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2011 Multiple lines of evidence suggest that susceptibility to Kawasaki disease (KD) is influenced by host genetics. Subclinical coronary artery vasculitis may be present in monozygotic twins who are discordant for clinical signs of KD. Health care providers should consider laboratory testing and echocardiography in both monozygotic twins when only one twin

Isolated anorectal malformation with rectoperineal fistula in monozygotic twins
Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2019 Incidence of anorectal malformation (ARM) is reportedly 1 in approximately 2500–5000 live births. While its etiology remains elusive, most evidence indicates genetic factors to be the major cause.

Coeliac disease in monozygotic twins [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1982 Summary A case of concordance for coeliac disease in monozygous twins is reported. One presented with failure to enter puberty and responded to the exclusion of gluten from her diet. The other twin was asymptomatic. They represent a well documented example of monozygous twins with concordance for coeliac disease.
