Identical non-identical twins and non-identical identical twins [PDF]
BMJ, 2015 In recruiting monozygotic (MZ) twins for our ongoing research into de novo mutations in phenotypically discordant MZ twins, we have come across an increasing number of participants who have been told they are dizygotic (DZ) but have almost identical traits and physical features, or MZ but present more like fraternal siblings.

Genetically identical twins show comparable tau PET load and spatial distribution. [PDF]
Brain, 2022 Tau accumulation starts during the preclinical phase of Alzheimer’s disease and is closely associated with cognitive decline. For preventive purposes, it is important to identify factors associated with tau accumulation and spread.

Identical twins carry a persistent epigenetic signature of early genome programming. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 Monozygotic (MZ) twins and higher-order multiples arise when a zygote splits during pre-implantation stages of development. The mechanisms underpinning this event have remained a mystery.

Drawing development of identical and non-identical twins: A case study of triplets [PDF]
Heliyon, 2021 Differences in drawing development are conditioned by genetics, environment and individuality of children. Therefore, it is exciting to observe the drawing development in children, who are raised in the same environment and have a similar genetic basis ...

Risk factors associated with the discordance in kidney function decline rate in identical twins [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Background The rate of kidney function decline is different for each individual regardless of any difference in the medical histories. This study set out to identify the risk factors for high discordance in kidney function decline in an identical twin ...

Recognition of identical twins using fusion of various facial feature extractors
EURASIP Journal on Image and Video Processing, 2017 Distinguishing identical twins using their face images is a challenge in biometrics. The goal of this study is to construct a biometric system that is able to give the correct matching decision for the recognition of identical twins.

Fingerprint recognition with identical twin fingerprints. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Fingerprint recognition with identical twins is a challenging task due to the closest genetics-based relationship existing in the identical twins. Several pioneers have analyzed the similarity between twins' fingerprints.
