Cardiometabolic multimorbidity and incident dementia: the Swedish twin registry
European Heart Journal, 2022 Aims Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs), including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, are established risk factors for dementia, but their combined impact has been investigated only recently.

Rare spontaneous monochorionic dizygotic twins: a case report and a systematic review
BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2022 Background Monochorionic dizygotic twins are a rare condition, mostly related to assisted reproductive technology. This type of twinning is burdened by the same risk of pregnancy complications found in monochorionic monozygotic pregnancies.

Indian twin registry: A gold mine for genetic studies
Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023 Twins are a source of curiosity, both for the family and the scientific community. Genetic similarities between twins have been the preferred choice to study the heritability of traits.

Does Sex Discordance on Antenatal Ultrasound Always Predict Dichorionicity?
Maternal-Fetal Medicine, 2020 . Monochorionic dizygotic twin gestation is clinically very uncommon but poses significant antenatal and postnatal complications. Here we review the diagnosis, mechanism, perinatal management, and pregnant outcomes of monochroic dizygotic twin gestation.

Vertical Transmission and Discordance of Cytomegalovirus in Twin Pregnancies
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 ObjectiveThe objectives are to estimate the vertical transmission rate in twins relative to singleton pregnancies, to evaluate whether discordance within twin pairs is rare, and to characterize concordance within monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs in ...

Risk of psychiatric disorders among the surviving twins after a co-twin loss
eLife, 2020 Losing a co-twin by death is a severely stressful event yet with unknown impact on the surviving twin’s risk of psychiatric disorders. We identified all Swedish-born twins who lost a co-twin by death between 1973 and 2013 (n = 4,528), their 4939 non-twin

Handedness in twins: meta-analyses
BMC Psychology, 2022 Background In the general population, 10.6% of people favor their left hand over the right for motor tasks. Previous research suggests higher prevalence of atypical (left-, mixed-, or non-right-) handedness in (i) twins compared to singletons, and in (ii)

Case Report: Identification of Germline Chimerism in Monochorionic Dizygotic Twins
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Monochorionic twins are generally considered to be monozygotic, as monochorionic dizygotic (MCDZ) twins are extremely rare in natural pregnancies. Several studies have reported this rare occurrence, and most of these pregnancies have been conceived by ...

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2021 Background Rhabdomyomas comprise the majority of cardiac tumors in fetuses and are found in association with tuberous sclerosis complex. More than 90% of fetuses and neonates with multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas have signs of tuberous sclerosis complex ...

Genetic modelling of dizygotic twinning in pedigrees of spontaneous dizygotic twins [PDF]
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1996 The inheritance of spontaneous dizygotic (DZ) twinning was investigated in 1,422 three-generation pedigrees ascertained through mothers of spontaneous DZ proband twins. DZ twinning was modelled as a trait expressed only in women. The penetrance was modelled first as a parity independent and secondly as parity dependent.
