Does early life health predict schooling within twin pairs? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A large number of studies in labor economics estimate the returns to schooling using data on monozygotic twins, under the assumption that educational attainment is random within twin pairs. This exogeneity assumption has been commonly questioned, however,

Gut Microbiome Pilot Study of Patients With CHARGE Syndrome and Sibling Controls

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Difficulties with feeding and digestion are common in individuals with CHARGE syndrome. Animal models with CHD7 gene variants demonstrate abnormal gut innovation and dysmotility. Our pilot study evaluated whether individuals with CHARGE syndrome have differences in their gut microbiome compared to unaffected siblings.

Genetic and Environmental Contributions to Serological Biomarkers of Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in Asthma: A Twin Study

open access: yesClinical and Translational Allergy, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT 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,

Associations Between Sum Scores or Combinations of MRI Findings in the Lumbar Spine and Low Back Pain‐Related Outcomes: A Systematic Review

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pain, Volume 29, Issue 7, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Research on lumbar MRI findings has mainly focused on single MRI findings and their association with low back pain (LBP). Some studies suggest that summing or combining MRI findings may show stronger associations with LBP than single findings.

Staphylococcus aureus carriage is associated with microbiome composition in the nares and oropharynx, not the hand, of monozygotic twins

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiomes
BackgroundStaphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacterium commonly found in the nares and oropharynx of one in three individuals and has the potential to cause significant health problems. With antibiotic-resistant strains causing 11,000 deaths yearly
