Hemivertebra in Monozygotic Twins

Spine, 2001
A case report.To report and discuss a case of thoracic hemivertebra in monozygotic twins.The etiology of congenital scoliosis remains unclear. Both a genetic basis and environmental influences have been postulated. A few isolated reports of discordant spinal anomalies in twins exist.Clinical examination and plain radiograph evaluation were performed on

Achalasia in monozygotic twins

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1982
The familial occurrence of achalasia has been previously recorded and a genetic origin for the disease has been postulated. We present the first case of achalasia in monozygotic twins and suggest that concordance for the disease is consistent with a genetic factor in the etiology of achalasia.

Squint in monozygotic twins

Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1979
In a group of monozygotic twins, in which at least one of the pair squinted, strabismus was observed in both twins in only about half of the cases. Within the concordant group there was variation in the way in which the anomaly became manifest.

Monozygotic Twins with Apert Syndrome

The Cleft Palate Craniofacial Journal, 2008
Apert syndrome results almost exclusively from one of two point mutations (Ser252Trp or Pro253Arg) in fibroblast growth factor receptor 2. Most patients with Apert syndrome have this as an autosomal dominant abnormality. The majority of cases are sporadic, resulting from new mutations.

Endometriosis in monozygotic twins

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1994
Objective. To study the reproductive and medical history of monozygotic twin sisters and mothers of patients with endometriosis.Material and methods. Among 515 patients with endometriosis, eight had a monozygotic twin sister all of whom had had a gynecological laparoscopy or laparotomy. In addition, five of their mothers had had a laparotomy.

Transplantation Between Monozygotic Twins

Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1968
After a brief review on the literature concerning transplantations between monozygotic twins, a new case is added. A 22–year-old woman with burns comprising 59% of the body surface had three transplantations of skin from her monozygotic twin sister. The total grafts corresponded to 25% of the body surface. There were 100% takes, and all the sister skin

Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia in Monozygotic Twins

Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1986
ABSTRACTThis paper reports a unique familial occurrence of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) in monozygotic twins. The determination of twin monozygosity has been performed by electrophoretic and immunological typing of genetic systems (erythrocyte blood groups, leucocyte antigens and serum protein polymorphism).

Rett syndrome in monozygotic twins

American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1988
AbstractThe evolution of the Rett syndrome in 29‐year‐old twin girls is presented. Evidence for monozygosity is given together with a brief account of the problems these girls posed to their family in early childhood.

Nongoitrous Cretinism in Monozygotic Twins

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1969
NONGOITROUS CRETINISM is presumed to be nongenetically determined, since it usually occurs as an isolated case within a family pedigree. Recent reports of concordance for this disorder among monozygotic twins 1,2 and familial instances 1,3-5 lend some support toward a genetic etiology.
