Methylomic analysis of monozygotic twins discordant for childhood psychotic symptoms

open access: yesEpigenetics, 2015
Childhood psychotic symptoms are associated with increased rates of schizophrenia, other psychiatric disorders, and suicide attempts in adulthood; thus, elucidating early risk indicators is crucial to target prevention efforts.

Equivalent DNA methylation variation between monozygotic co-twins and unrelated individuals reveals universal epigenetic inter-individual dissimilarity

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2021
Background Although the genomes of monozygotic twins are practically identical, their methylomes may evolve divergently throughout their lifetime as a consequence of factors such as the environment or aging. Particularly for young and healthy monozygotic

“Identical” double parathyroid adenomas in monozygotic twins

open access: yesOtolaryngology Case Reports, 2021
A number of genes have been associated with sporadic causes of primary hyperparathyroidism. A case of primary hyperparathyroidism secondary to simultaneously presenting double parathyroid adenomas with identical distribution in a set of 48-year-old ...

Monozygotic twins discordant for low-level mosaic trisomy 17 at amniocentesis in a pregnancy with a favorable outcome and a literature review of heterokaryotypic monozygotic twins at amniocentesis

open access: yesTaiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2020
Objective: We present a set of twins discordant for low-level mosaic trisomy 17 at amniocentesis, and we review the literature of heterokaryotypic monozygotic twins at amniocentesis.

A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins

open access: yesNature, 2008
The human distal gut harbours a vast ensemble of microbes (the microbiota) that provide important metabolic capabilities, including the ability to extract energy from otherwise indigestible dietary polysaccharides.

Generation and characterization of human-derived iPSC lines from three pairs of monozygotic twins discordant for Parkinson's disease

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2019
Despite a genetic component in the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD), monozygotic twin pairs often display discordance for PD. Here, we describe the generation of six human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from dermal fibroblasts of three

Epigenetics of discordant monozygotic twins: implications for disease

open access: yesGenome Medicine, 2014
Monozygotic (MZ) twins share nearly all of their genetic variants and many similar environments before and after birth. However, they can also show phenotypic discordance for a wide range of traits.

Genetic and environmental influences on sleep quality, ability to settle, and crying duration in 2‐ and 5‐month‐old infants: A longitudinal twin study

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
This study found that genetic factors largely influence crying duration and settle ability in infancy, while shared environmental factors primarily affect the number of night wakeups. Etiological influences tended to change from 2 to 5 months, reflecting a highly plastic period in infant brain development and in child‐environment interactions. Abstract
