Die Sprachentwicklung von Ein-und Zweieiigen Zwillingen und die Vererbung von Sprachstörungen [PDF]
, 2017 The genetic roots of speech development in children are being investigated. On the basis of observations in the development of speech in 12 monozygotic twin pairs it could be shown that not only the retarded but also the normal development of speech is ...

A Robust and Unified Framework for Estimating Heritability in Twin Studies using Generalized Estimating Equations [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The development of a complex disease is an intricate interplay of genetic and environmental factors. "Heritability" is defined as the proportion of total trait variance due to genetic factors within a given population. Studies with monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins allow us to estimate heritability by fitting an "ACE" model which estimates the ...

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.Background Infants vary significantly in the way they process and respond to sensory stimuli, and altered sensory processing has been reported among infants later diagnosed with autism. Previous work with adolescents and adults suggests that variability in sensory processing may have a strong genetic basis.

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.

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 ...

Marital Status and Unobserved Heterogeneity - Do twins suggest a genetic inheritance? [PDF]
The purpose of this study is to reveal the importance of unobserved heterogeneity on marital status. The results for monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic twins indicate an important genetic component in marital status.

Esophageal atresia and Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome in one of the naturally conceived discordant newborn twins: first report [PDF]
, 2018 Recent studies report a high incidence of monozygotic twinning in Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome. A phenotypical discordance in monozygotic twins israre.

Preventing common hereditary disorders through time-separated twinning [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Biomedical advances have led to a relaxation of natural selection in the human population in developed countries. In the absence of strong purifying selection, spontaneous and frequently deleterious mutations tend to accumulate in the human genome and gradually increase the genetic load; that is, the frequency of potentially lethal genes in the gene ...
