The cause of Parkinson disease (PD) is unknown. Genetic linkages have been identified in families with PD, but whether most PD is inherited has not been determined.To assess genetic inheritance of PD by studying monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs.Twin study comparing concordance rates of PD in MZ and DZ twin pairs.A total of 19842 white ...

To reevaluate concordance rates in 9 monozygotic (MZ) and 12 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs with PD 8 years after the initial study.Longitudinal investigations increase accuracy in clinical diagnosis of PD.Follow-up by personal interview and clinical examination.Concordance rates were not different between MZ (3/9) and DZ (5/12) twin pairs at follow-up ...

Dupuytren’s Disease in Identical Twins
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1993The aetiology of Dupuytren’s disease remains unknown, although hereditary and environmental influences have been implicated. Previous reports have suggested that identical twins will develop identical contractures. This paper reports two pairs of identical twins, in each of which only one twin has evidence of Dupuytren’s disease. This demonstrates that

Archives of Neurology, 1981
To the Editor.— We read with interest the article by Cook et al (Archives1981;38:300-301) describing the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in elderly twin sisters who appeared to be identical. In 1979, Sharman et al 1 first reported the occurrence of histologically confirmed AD in apparently identical 38-year-old male twins whose mother had died ...

Twins and Congenital Heart Disease
Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae, 1961Summary 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,
