Fathering of dizygotic twins and risk of prostate cancer: nationwide, population-based case-control study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: An association between male fertility and risk of prostate cancer has been suggested, possibly through lower androgen levels in subfertile men.

A genome wide linkage scan for dizygotic twinning in 525 families of mothers of dizygotic twins [PDF]
Human Reproduction, 2010 The tendency to conceive dizygotic (DZ) twins is a complex trait influenced by genetic and environmental factors. To search for new candidate loci for twinning, we conducted a genome-wide linkage scan in 525 families using microsatellite and single nucleotide polymorphism marker panels.Non-parametric linkage analyses, including 523 families containing ...

Comparison of the Differences in State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Scores and Insomnia Histories between Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins: A Cross-Sectional Study Using KoGES HTS Data. [PDF]
J Clin Med, 2022 The heritability of anxiety and its association with insomnia have been suggested. This study investigated the coincidence of anxiety and insomnia in monozygotic twins compared to dizygotic twins.

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.

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.

Urticaria in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins [PDF]
Journal 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.

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)

Twins and their friendships: Differences between monozygotic, dizygotic same-sex and dizygotic mixed-sex pairs [PDF]
, 2006 This study examined the influence of twin status (monozygotic [MZ], dizygotic same-sex [DZss] and dizygotic opposite-sex [DZos]) on friendship patterns. It examined the friendships of 60 children from 30 twin pairs, mean age 8 years, 4 months.
