Speech characteristics of monozygotic twins and a same-sex sibling: an acoustic case study of coarticulation patterns in read speech [PDF]

, 2003
This case study reports on an acoustic investigation of the motor speech characteristics of a set of young adult male monozygotic (MZ) twins and compares them to those of an age- and sex-matched sibling who participated in the study 2 years later to ...

Discordance in monozygotic Parkinson's disease twins – continuum or dichotomy?

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2019
Differences in concordance rates between monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs with Parkinson's disease (PD) have been used to estimate genetic influences in PD pathogenesis.

Integrative DNA methylome analysis of pan-cancer biomarkers in cancer discordant monozygotic twin-pairs [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: A key focus in cancer research is the discovery of biomarkers that accurately diagnose early lesions in non-invasive tissues. Several studies have identified malignancy-associated DNA methylation changes in blood, yet no general cancer ...

Handedness in twins: meta-analyses

BMC Psychology, 2022
Background In the general population, 10.6% of people favor their left hand over the right for motor tasks. Previous research suggests higher prevalence of atypical (left-, mixed-, or non-right-) handedness in (i) twins compared to singletons, and in (ii)

Variations in genome-wide gene expression in identical twins – a study of primary osteoblast-like culture from female twins discordant for osteoporosis

BMC Genetics, 2004
Background Monozygotic twin pairs who are genetically identical would be potentially useful in gene expression study for specific traits as cases and controls, because there would be much less gene expression variation within pairs compared to two ...

Monozygotic twins discordant for low-level mosaic trisomy 17 at amniocentesis in a pregnancy with a favorable outcome and a literature review of heterokaryotypic monozygotic twins at amniocentesis

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2020
Objective: We present a set of twins discordant for low-level mosaic trisomy 17 at amniocentesis, and we review the literature of heterokaryotypic monozygotic twins at amniocentesis.

Chromosome 22q11.2 microdeletion in monozygotic twins with discordant phenotype and deletion size

Molecular Cytogenetics, 2012
We report on a pair of male monozygotic twins with 22q11.2 microdeletion, discordant phenotype and discordant deletion size. The second twin had findings suggestive of DiGeorge syndrome, while the first twin had milder anomalies without any cardiac ...

VJ Segment Usage of TCR-Beta Repertoire in Monozygotic Cystic Fibrosis Twins

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Sixteen monozygotic cystic fibrosis (CF) twin pairs of whom 14 pairs were homozygous for the most common p.Phe508del CFTR mutation were selected from the European Cystic Fibrosis Twin and Sibling Study Cohort. The monozygotic twins were examined in their
