Die Sprachentwicklung von Ein-und Zweieiigen Zwillingen und die Vererbung von Sprachstörungen [PDF]
, 2017 The genetic roots of speech development in children are being investigated. On the basis of observations in the development of speech in 12 monozygotic twin pairs it could be shown that not only the retarded but also the normal development of speech is ...

Preverbal Language Abilities in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins [PDF]
, 2007 This study examined prelinguistic language development of twins by delineating: differences from developmental expectations; twin-twin communication and twin-mother communication differences; and monozygotic-dizygotic differences.

Whole genome and exome sequencing of monozygotic twins with trisomy 21, discordant for a congenital heart defect and epilepsy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Congenital heart defects (CHD) occur in 40% of patients with trisomy 21, while the other 60% have a structurally normal heart. This suggests that the increased dosage of genes on chromosome 21 is a risk factor for abnormal heart development.

Identical twins carry a persistent epigenetic signature of early genome programming
Nature Communications, 2021 The mechanisms underlying how monozygotic (or identical) twins arise are yet to be determined. Here, the authors investigate this in an epigenome-wide association study, showing that monozygotic twinning has a characteristic DNA methylation signature in ...

Marital Status and Unobserved Heterogeneity - Do twins suggest a genetic inheritance? [PDF]
The purpose of this study is to reveal the importance of unobserved heterogeneity on marital status. The results for monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic twins indicate an important genetic component in marital status.

Discordance in monozygotic Parkinson's disease twins – continuum or dichotomy?
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2019 Differences in concordance rates between monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs with Parkinson's disease (PD) have been used to estimate genetic influences in PD pathogenesis.
