Sleep and Maladaptive Personality Traits: A Twin Study
ABSTRACT Sleep is essential for human functioning, but little attention has been paid to the interplay between sleep and maladaptive personality traits. We examined genetic and environmental associations between sleep and four maladaptive domains (MDs)—Negative Affectivity, Detachment, Disinhibition, and Psychoticism—within the framework of the DSM‐5 ...

Risk for multiple sclerosis in dizygotic and monozygotic twins
We investigated the risks of twins for multiple sclerosis (MS). Our data are linked registers of all Danish twins and of all Danes born between 1920 and 1970 in whom MS was diagnosed before 1997.

When ‘Liver Enzymes’ Are Not Hepatic: Late‐Onset Pompe Disease
ABSTRACT Elevated liver function tests are commonly attributed to hepatic disease but may reflect extrahepatic pathology. We describe the case of an 18‐year‐old athletic woman with a 2‐year history of elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and creatine kinase (CK) levels, initially investigated extensively for hepatic

The control of ovulation in mothers of dizygotic twins
Dizygotic twinning is familial, suggesting that there may be an inherited abnormality of the control of ovulation that predisposes to double ovulation and, therefore, dizygotic twins. The present study examines 17 mothers of dizygotic twins (MODZT) and 8

Discordant evolution of nephrotic syndrome in mono- and dizygotic twins
Twins represent a powerful resource for revealing multifactorial mechanisms in human diseases. Few reports are available on nephrotic syndrome in twins, and most furnish only a partial description of genetic identity based on human leukocyte antigens ...

The Fertility Pattern of Twins and the General Population Compared: Evidence from Danish Cohorts 1945-64 [PDF]
Twin studies provide an important possibility for demographers to analyze patterns of heritability and to estimate structural models with controls for endowments. These possibilities are increasingly used in the context of fertility and related behaviors.
