Twinning: Coronary Artery Disease in Monozygotic Twins [PDF]
Cureus, 2021 We present the case of a patient whose monozygotic twin brother suffered a fatal myocardial infarction at the age of 40. The patient presented with similar symptoms as his brother. Given the family history, ischemic evaluation was undertaken and revealed similar coronary anatomy and severe coronary artery disease (CAD). We review the current literature

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.
