Alzheimer's disease in Finnish twins
The Lancet, 1996The genetics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are obscure. Although most cases are sporadic half the patients with sporadic AD have a positive family history. The mode of genetic transmission and the role of environmental factors are unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of genetic factors to the pathogenesis of AD in a twin ...

Castleman's disease in identical twins
Virchows Archiv A Pathological Anatomy and Histology, 1982The authors present the first published case of angiofollicular lymph-node hyperplasia, observed in identical twins. In both cases the lesion had the same location, but there was a difference of two years in the time of presentation. A morphological description and discussion of pathogenesis are given.

MZ female twins discordant for X-linked diseases: a review.
Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae, 1994The 20 reported cases of MZ female twins discordant for X-linked diseases are reviewed. In such twins the X-inactivation pattern is opposite skewing (abnormal allele inactivated in most cells of the normal twin, and normal allele inactivated in most ...

Hyaline Membrane Disease in Twins
Pediatrics, 1968In 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.

Carcinoma of the thyroid and other diseases of the thyroid in identical twins.
Archives of Surgery, 1955Any disease occurring in one identical twin may be expected to occur in the other at the same time or at some future time. In a recent report (1953) of sympathicoblastomas occurring in 3-month-old identical twins Lee 1 stated that "when a tumor ...

Congenital Heart Disease in Twins
New England Journal of Medicine, 1967THE 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 ...

Twin studies in rheumatic diseases
Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 1994Twin 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.

Smoking and Parkinson’s disease in twins
Neurology, 2002To 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 ...
