Childhood dermatomyositis in monozygotic twins

Neurology, 1986
Identical twins who developed childhood dermatomyositis 2 weeks apart following upper respiratory infections are reported. Observations suggest that genetic influence on host susceptibility may play a role in childhood dermatomyositis and that a combination of host and environmental factors is most likely necessary to produce the disease.

Conditional Concordance in Monozygotic Twins

Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae: twin research, 1980
Twin concordance rates are usually reported without reference to the number of parents affected, apparently because the simple demonstration that monozygotic (MZ) twins are more concordant than are dizygotic (DZ) twins is the goal of most twin studies.

MONGOLISM IN MONOZYGOTIC TWINS

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1933
The appearance of mongolism in both twins is of relatively rare occurrence, and the literature contains only six previously recorded cases. In her excellent monograph on mongolism, Brousseau 1 reviewed the literature on mongolism in twins. Recently, Bauer 2 made a more detailed and extensive review in which he presented two additional cases and ...

Bullous Emphysema in Monozygotic Twins

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1989
Monozygotic twins who developed bullous emphysema are described. This occurrence suggests that there is a genetic component that predisposes to the development of this disorder.

Infantile Autism in Monozygotic Twins

Journal of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry, 1985
A pair of monozygotic twins concordant for early infantile autism is described. Both twins had low birth weight and postnatal cyanosis. They also suffered from epilepsy. The second twin had a lower birth weight and had to be kept in an incubator for 18 days. The twins' older brother had a history of speech delay.

Monozygotic Twins and Epigenetics

2012
Twins have been the subject of both art and scientific investigation for millennia. Twins allow the exploration of the impact of genes and the environment on phenotypic traits, and are important for studying the etiology of disease. Whilst traditional genetic studies have relied on twins as a particularly informative type of family structure, twins ...
