Birth of a Healthy Monozygotic Twin Foal with Hydrops and a Dead Co-Twin [PDF]
Veterinary SciencesTransfer of in vitro-produced (IVP) equine embryos is associated with a higher incidence of monozygotic multiple pregnancies, but this remains a rarity. The outcome of monozygotic twin gestation is poor, and good management techniques are lacking.

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.

Lifetime socioeconomic position and twins' health: an analysis of 308 pairs of United States women twins. [PDF]
PLoS Medicine, 2005 Important controversies exist about the extent to which people's health status as adults is shaped by their living conditions in early life compared to adulthood. These debates have important policy implications, and one obstacle to resolving them is the

Vertical Transmission and Discordance of Cytomegalovirus in Twin Pregnancies
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 ObjectiveThe objectives are to estimate the vertical transmission rate in twins relative to singleton pregnancies, to evaluate whether discordance within twin pairs is rare, and to characterize concordance within monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs in ...

Monozygotic Heterocaryotic Twinning [PDF]
Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae, 1974 Since the first publication in 1961, cases of monozygotic heterocaryotic twinning have been repeatedly found and a total of 14 observations can now be analysed. The mechanism involved in this type of twinning is yet uncertain and eventually is not identical in each case, the main uncertainty being to decide whether the chromosomal error affecting one ...

Monozygotic twin sisters discordant for familial hemiplegic migraine [PDF]
, 2013 Background: The high concordance rate of migraine in monozygotic twin pairs has long been recognised. In the current study, we present a monozygotic twin pair discordant for familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM).

Intra-Monozygotic Twin Pair Discordance and Longitudinal Variation of Whole-Genome Scale DNA Methylation in Adults. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Monozygotic twins share identical genomic DNA and are indistinguishable using conventional genetic markers. Increasing evidence indicates that monozygotic twins are epigenetically distinct, suggesting that a comparison between DNA methylation patterns ...
