The importance of separation-individuation process in the treatment course of a monozygotic twin pair concordant for anorexia nervosa: a case report

Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, 2017
Anorexia nervosa is a serious mental illness with marked morbidity and mortality. Twin studies on anorexia nervosa concluded that there was a higher concordance rate in monozygotic twins (56%) than in dizygotic twins (7%).

The contribution of efficient production of monozygotic twins to beef cattle breeding

Journal of reproduction and development, 2017
Production of sires with high breeding potential is indispensable for prompt and reliable breeding using their semen in the cattle industry. Currently, in Japan, we aim to further the production of Japanese black sires via a new breeding system that uses

Twins and endocrinology

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2014
Twins are two independent babies delivered during the same pregnancy and are divided as monozygotic or dizygotic based on their origin. Dizygotic twins are similar to two siblings and have different genetic information.

Monochorionic diamniotic twins of discordant external genitalia with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background Monozygotic twins with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism, discordant for phenotypic sex, are extremely rare. Methods This report describes the clinical findings of a rare case of 45,X/46,XY mosaicism in monozygotic twins with different external genitalia ...

Monozygotic twins discordant for homologous Robertsonian translocation trisomy 21 of 46, XX, + 21, der (21;21) (q10; q10) in a twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, case report

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2021
Background Monozygotic twins are nearly identical in genotype and phenotype because monozygotic twins arise from one fertilized oocyte. In all cases of discordant karyotype in monozygotic twins, trisomy 21 accounts for about one in 385,000.

Concordant Intestinal Atresia in Two Pairs of Monozygotic Twins

American Journal of Perinatology Reports, 2011
Intestinal atresia in both twins from the same pregnancy is very rare. Only seven pairs of twins have been described. The authors report on two cases of monozygotic twins with different types of intestinal atresia and clinical evolution.

Discordant renal progression of Fabry disease in male monozygotic twins: a case report

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Background: Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the GLA gene that encodes α-galactosidase A (α-GAL).

Associations between birth size and later height from infancy through adulthood : an individual based pooled analysis of 28 twin cohorts participating in the CODATwins project [PDF]

, 2018
Background: There is evidence that birth size is positively associated with height in later life, but it remains unclear whether this is explained by genetic factors or the intrauterine environment.

A Twin Study of Genetic Contributions to Hippocampal Morphology in Schizophrenia

Neurobiology of Disease, 2002
Our goal was to establish whether altered hippocampal morphology represents a trait marker for genetic vulnerability in schizophrenia. We outlined the hippocampi on high-resolution MR images obtained from matched samples of control and discordant ...
