Monozygotic twins with ulcerative colitis [PDF]
Abstract Monozygous twin sisters developed ulcerative colitis within 7 years of each other. Both had distal colitis confirmed by histology and radiology. Their maternal grandmother subsequently developed the disease. The long interval between the onset of the disease in the twins suggests a role for environmental factors in addition to ...

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

Epigenetic discrimination of Lebanese monozygotic and dizygotic twins: Summarized notes in a single paper [PDF]
Monozygotic twins’ differentiation is worldwide limited due to the fact that they share the same genotype. For forensic purposes, many studies involving monozygotic twins were accomplished.

The Impact of Environmental and Genetic Factors on Bone Quality in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins
The purpose of the research was to assess the genetic and environmental influences on bone properties. One hundred thirty-two pairs of twins (99/33 monozygotic/dizygotic) underwent anthropometric measurements and phalangeal quantitative ultrasound (DBM ...

The Surviving Monozygotic Twin [PDF]
It has been suggested that because of vascular interchange between the monozygous twins vascular disruptions from a deceased cotwin with disseminated intravascular coagulation causes embolisation in the surviving twin. This study reports six cases in which all the surviving monozygous twins had central nervous system infarcts and three had multiple ...
