Characterizing genetic and environmental influences on variable DNA methylation using monozygotic and dizygotic twins

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2018
Variation in DNA methylation is being increasingly associated with health and disease outcomes. Although DNA methylation is hypothesized to be a mechanism by which both genetic and non-genetic factors can influence the regulation of gene expression ...

Urticaria in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Allergy, 2012
Aim. To identify risk factors for urticaria, to determine the relative proportion of the susceptibility to urticaria that is due to genetic factors in an adult clinical twin sample, and to further determine whether the genetic susceptibility to urticaria overlaps with the genetic susceptibility to atopic diseases. Methods.

Concurrent Neonatal Proteus mirabilis Infection in Dizygotic Twins

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1999
A case of concomitant infection with Proteus mirabilis in dizygotic twin neonates is presented. The first twin presented with meningitis and septic shock at eight days of age and subsequently died.

Congenital Chloride Diarrhea in Dizygotic Twins [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition, 2013
Congenital chloride diarrhea (CLD) is a rare inherited autosomal recessive disorder. Mutations of the solute carrier family 26 member 3 gene cause profuse, chloride ion rich diarrhea, which results in hypochloremia, hyponatremia and metabolic alkalosis with dehydration. If a fetal ultrasound shows bowel dilatation suggestive of bowel obstruction, or if

Cytosolic Phosphoenoylpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency: Clinical, Biochemical, and Genetic Features of Five Non‐Finnish Patients

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cytosolic phosphoenoylpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK‐C) is an essential, rate‐limiting enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway. PEPCK‐C deficiency presents with hypoglycaemia, hyperlactataemia and hepatopathy, and was first reported in association with bi‐allelic PCK1 variants in 2014.

Genetics of Obesity Traits: A Bivariate Genome-Wide Association Analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
Previous genome-wide association studies on anthropometric measurements have identified more than 100 related loci, but only a small portion of heritability in obesity was explained. Here we present a bivariate twin study to look for the genetic variants

Dental arch characteristics among South Indian twins

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Oral Sciences, 2022
Genetic and environmental factors are essential in occlusal variations and malocclusion and have been of considerable interest to orthodontists. Studies on twin pairs are one of the most effective methods for investigating genetically determined ...

Early versus late amniotomy during twin labor

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study evaluates whether timing of amniotomy affects labor characteristics and maternal and neonatal outcomes in twin deliveries. Methods This retrospective study was conducted at a single academic medical center and included dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancies with a normal anomaly scan and a vertex‐presenting leading

Genetic and environmental influences on circulating NK and T cells and their relation to bipolar disorder

open access: yesInternational Journal of Bipolar Disorders, 2019
Background In previous studies we found mild deficiencies of circulating T cells in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and children at risk for BD, correlating to a higher inflammatory state.

Simultaneous cloacogenic carcinoma in dizygotic twins [PDF]

open access: yesCancer, 1987
Dizygotic twins developed cloacogenic carcinoma of the anus almost simultaneously. The patients, although separated from the time they were 20-years-old, had very similar life styles. There are several reports in the medical literature of synchronous tumors in mono and dizygotic twins.
