Urticaria in monozygotic and dizygotic twins. [PDF]
J Allergy (Cairo), 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.

The control of ovulation in mothers of dizygotic twins. [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1996 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 control mothers of singletons by daily blood sampling throughout an entire menstrual cycle.

Congenital chloride diarrhea in dizygotic twins. [PDF]
Pediatr Gastroenterol Hepatol Nutr, 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

Genetic and Environmental Contributions to Serological Biomarkers of Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in Asthma: A Twin Study. [PDF]
Clin Transl AllergyABSTRACT Background Asthma is characterized by airway obstruction driven by chronic inflammation, leading to extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. This involves ECM alterations, including increased collagen deposition and elastolysis, resulting in airway wall thickening and irreversible airflow limitation. Despite ECM remodeling's known role in asthma,

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.

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.

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.
