Twin studies in rheumatic diseases

Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 1994
Twin studies attract both clinicians and geneticists because of the value of the twin method in helping unravel the genetic predisposition to diseases and the role of environment in their causation. In the field of rheumatology, there are many case reports on twins concordant or discordant for diseases.

Congenital Heart Disease in Twins

New England Journal of Medicine, 1967
THE familial nature of congenital heart disease has become increasingly apparent.1 2 3 However, a major obstacle to the acceptance of a significant genetic role in the etiology of congenital heart defects has been the failure to demonstrate that when 1 member of a set of identical twins is affected with a congenital heart lesion, the co-twin is also ...

Smoking and Parkinson’s disease in twins

Neurology, 2002
To test the hypothesis that cigarette smoking protects against the development of PD.Smoking has been inversely associated with PD in many studies, but whether this reflects a biologic effect on the underlying disease process or merely confounding or selection bias remains uncertain.The authors compared smoking histories in male twin pairs identified ...

Hyaline Membrane Disease in Twins

Pediatrics, 1968
In analyzing the evidence for the role of prematurity and the significance of added stress in the pathogenesis of hyaline membrane disease, it seems pertinent to examine the occurrence of the disease in twins. Were prematurity alone the determinant of the likelihood of developing the disease, one would expect the disease to occur in both twins.

Twin study of Parkinson disease

Neurology, 1981
Zero concordance for Parkinson disease was found in the first 12 monozygotic twin pairs examined in an ongoing twin study. One co-twin (subject without Parkinson disease) had essential tremor, another had cerebral vascular disease, and a third was an alcoholic.

The progression of disease stage in twin-twin transfusion syndrome

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2004
To estimate the frequency of progression or regression of disease stage in pregnancies complicated by twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) managed with non-placental laser techniques.A cohort of TTTS pregnancies within the sole perinatal center for the state of Western Australia was examined.

Crouzon Disease in Twins

Ophthalmologica, 1977
After a survey of cases in the literature reported, two cases of Crouzon disease, in monovular twins are described. The observation in twins and the opportunity of histologic examination of optic nerve, permitted some considerations in order to help in understanding this syndrome.

Dupuytren’s Disease in Identical Twins

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1993
The 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.
