Challenges and Pitfalls in Diagnosing Twins With Discordant BWS Phenotype

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Accurately diagnosing Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) in twins with discordant phenotypes is essential for personalized oncological monitoring and management. It is advisable to test both twins, even without phenotypic expression, and incorporate prenatal factors like assisted reproduction technologies and twin pregnancies into the diagnostic BWS ...

Following in Your Father's Footsteps: A Note on the Intergenerational Transmission of Income between Twin Fathers and their Sons [PDF]

We provide the first twin-based estimates of the intergenerational transmission of income between fathers and sons. Using Swedish register data on the income of monozygotic twin fathers and their sons, we are able to control for unobserved endowments at ...

Autistic traits in childhood and post‐traumatic stress disorder as young adults: a cohort study

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Despite the higher prevalence of childhood traumatic experiences and post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in autistic adults, research on trauma‐related psychopathology and autistic traits in young people is lacking. This study examined if high autistic traits in childhood predispose individuals to traumatic experiences, the development of ...

De novo deletion in MECP2 in a monozygotic twin pair: a case report

BMC Medical Genetics, 2011
Background Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe, progressive, neurodevelopmental disorder predominantly observed in females that leads to intellectual disability. Mutations and gross rearrangements in MECP2 account for a large proportion of cases with RTT.

Heritability of pain catastrophizing and associations with experimental pain outcomes: a twin study [PDF]

, 2015
This study used a twin paradigm to examine genetic and environmental contributions to pain catastrophizing and the observed association between pain Catastrophizing and cold-pressor task (CPT) outcomes. Male and female monozygotic (n = 206) and dizygotic

Examining the association between cognitive ability and emotional problems across childhood using a genetically informative design: could there be a causal relationship?

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Emotional problems co‐occur with difficulties in verbal and nonverbal cognitive ability, yet the pathways underlying their association remain poorly understood: It is unclear whether effects may be causal, and to what extent they may run from cognition to emotion, or vice versa.

Predicting adolescent disordered eating and behaviours: exploring environmental moderators of polygenic risk

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the risk of developing disordered eating, with twin studies demonstrating environmental factors moderate genetic susceptibility. To date, gene–environment interactions leveraging polygenic risk scores (PRS) have not been studied in disordered eating phenotypes beyond anorexia nervosa (AN).
