Equivalent DNA methylation variation between monozygotic co-twins and unrelated individuals reveals universal epigenetic inter-individual dissimilarity

Genome Biology, 2021
Background Although the genomes of monozygotic twins are practically identical, their methylomes may evolve divergently throughout their lifetime as a consequence of factors such as the environment or aging. Particularly for young and healthy monozygotic

Why do spatial abilities predict mathematical performance? [PDF]

, 2014
Spatial ability predicts performance in mathematics and eventual expertise in science, technology and engineering. Spatial skills have also been shown to rely on neuronal networks partially shared with mathematics.

A Population‐Based Study of Limb Body Wall Complex With Proposed Features for Prenatal Diagnosis

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limb body wall complex (LBWC) is a lethal condition comprising major congenital anomalies. Although currently diagnosed in the early prenatal period, historical diagnostic criteria are based on detailed pathological assessments. Prenatal and postnatal findings of LBWC and their phenotypic overlap with body stalk anomaly (BSA) and recurrent ...

Genetic and environmental links between self-reports and parent-reports of child personality [PDF]

, 2018
Personality ratings have been consistently found to be reliable and moderately heritable, but interrater agreement between self- and other-report of personality are low-to-moderate, particularly in childhood samples. The current study aims to examine the

Maternal Sirolimus Treatment Reverses Cardiac Rhabdomyoma‐Induced Hydrops Fetalis in a Twin Gestation With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiac rhabdomyomas are often the presenting sign of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Prior reports have shown that maternal sirolimus treatment can reduce rhabdomyomas. We used maternal sirolimus to reverse hydrops fetalis due to a massive cardiac rhabdomyoma in a twin gestation.

The Multifaceted Etiology of Mental Disorders With a Focus on Trace Elements, a Review of Recent Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mental disorders are a significant global public health concern, affecting nearly one in eight individuals worldwide. This review investigates the multifaceted etiology of mental disorders—specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia (SCZ), and bipolar disorder (BD)—through genetic, neurobiological, and environmental ...

Heritability of testosterone levels in 12-year-old twins and its relation to pubertal development [PDF]

, 2005
The aim of this study was to estimate the heritability of variation in testosterone levels in 12-year-old children, and to explore the overlap in genetic and environmental influences on circulating testosterone levels and androgen dependent pubertal ...

The origin of monozygotic twinning

Reproductive BioMedicine Online, 2002
The incidence of monozygotic twinning appears to be increasing within the field of assisted human reproduction. Many theories have been put forward as to how and when this occurs. Whatever the cause, the normal events of embryo development, which necessarily involve axis formation, patterning and polarization, need to be adhered to in order to obtain a

Do the early social environment and persistent peripartum depressive symptoms shape toddlers' expressive language?

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extensive research suggests that peripartum depression is a risk factor for children's early language development. Yet, previous research on this association shows mixed results, often lacking information on the persistence of depression and the social context.
