MONOZYGOTIC AND DIZYGOTIC TWIN DIAGNOSIS

Annals of Human Genetics, 1955
SummaryA method of estimating the probability of dizygotic and monozygotic twin pairs is described. Parent‐child and sib‐sib frequency tables for the ABO, MNS and Rhesus blood‐group systems and formulae for obtaining these tables for the P, Lutheran, Kell, Duffy, Kidd and non‐secretor (or Lewis) systems are given.Tables of the distribution of ...

Myotonia Congenita in Dizygotic Twins

European Neurology, 1972
A pair of dizygotic twins suffering from myotonia congenita born in Great Britain, is described. The twins were subjected to genetic, biochemical and electromyographic studies as were 5 relations in ...

Enamel hypoplasia in the primary dentition of monozygotic and dizygotic twins compared with singleton controls.

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 2011
BACKGROUND The study of enamel hypoplasia (EH) and opacity in twins provides insights into the contribution of genetic and environmental factors in the expression of enamel defects.

Duodenal atresia in dizygotic twins

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1997
The authors report duodenal atresia occurring in both members of dizygotic twins who showed no signs of Down's syndrome, and both had normal chromosomal constitutions. They both had the two unlinked end type of atresia in the second portion of the duodenum, and direct end-to-end duodenoduodenostomy was carried out.

STUDIES OF HUMAN TWINS I. METHODS OF DIAGNOSING MONOZYGOTIC AND DIZYGOTIC TWINS

, 1928
1. The original objective of these studies was the study of the roles of heredity and environment in determining mental capacities of various sorts.2. The first essential was to learn how to diagnose with certainty the two types of twins, monozygotic and

Coarctation of the aorta in dizygotic twins

Cardiology in the Young, 2000
AbstractThe incidence of congenital heart disease is higher in monozygotic than dizygotic twins, with a higher concordance rate. Although coarctation of the aorta has previously been reported in monozygotic twins, to the best of our knowledge it has not been described in dizygotic twins. We report here such a concurrence in dizygotic twins conceived by

Sirenomelia dipus in a dizygotic twin

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2002
A rare case of sirenomelia in a LBW, IUGR & second of a dizygotic twin having multiple congenital anomalies is being reported. Apart from the features of sirenomelia, the newborn had a single umbilical artery, radial hypoplasia, total anorectal & urogenital agenesis and undetermined sex.

Coital rates and dizygotic twinning

Journal of Biosocial Science, 1972
There is some evidence, mostly of an epidemiological nature, that coital rates may be positively associated with dizygotic twinning. It is suggested that this link is causal, in which case an explanation becomes available for some curious—and hitherto unexplained—features of dizygotic twinning rates by maternal age and legitimacy.

Congenital biliary dilatation in dizygotic twins [PDF]

Pediatric Surgery International, 2004
Congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) of different types was recently noted in dizygotic twins. Our cases suggest the possibility of hereditary involvement in CBD. On the other hand, CBD discordance in six sets of monozygotic twins has been reported, which would suggest that the occurrence of CBD is not compatible with single gene control, although ...
