Prenatal growth markers in schizophrenia: a monozygotic co-twin control study. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: This co-twin study investigated monozygotic twins who were discordant for schizophrenia for evidence of prenatal growth differences between the affected and well co-twins. METHOD: Four dermatoglyphic markers of prenatal growth were obtained by

Crohn's disease in monozygotic twins [PDF]
Summary A pair of monozygotic twins with Crohn's disease is described. Both have ileocaecal disease and suffered their first symptoms after living apart for 6 years. The pathogenic role of hereditary and environmental factors is discussed in the light of this and previous reports of twins with Crohn's disease.

Second-trimester markers of fetal size in schizophrenia: a study of monozygotic twins [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Since the second prenatal trimester is the critical period of massive neural cell migration to the cortex, and fingertip dermal cells migrate to form ridges during this same period, the authors sought to determine whether there are differences

Bivariate genetic modelling of the response to an oral glucose tolerance challenge: A gene x environment interaction approach [PDF]
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Twin and family studies have shown the importance of genetic factors influencing fasting and 2 h glucose and insulin levels. However, the genetics of the physiological response to a glucose load has not been thoroughly investigated ...

Discordant phenotypes in twins with infantile nystagmus
Infantile nystagmus (IN) may result from aetiologies including albinism and FRMD7 mutations. IN has low prevalence, and twins with IN are rare. Whilst discordant presentation has been previously reported for IN, we present for the first time the ...
