Monochorionic twin pregnancies conceived through assisted reproduction: Maternal and perinatal clinical outcomes

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
ART‐conceived monochorionic twin pregnancies are associated with a higher burden of maternal complications compared with spontaneous conception. While fetal and neonatal outcomes did not differ significantly between groups after adjustment for relevant confounders, ART‐conceived pregnancies showed higher point estimates for several adverse outcomes ...

Outcome of two pairs of monozygotic twins with pleuropulmonary blastoma: case report

Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2020
Background Pleuropulmonary blastomas (PPB) are rare aggressive paediatric lung malignancies and are among the most common DICER1-related disorders: it is estimated that 75–80% of children with a PPB have the DICER1 mutation.

Trigger Twins: 2 Cases of Ipsilateral Twin Trigger Digit and a Review of Published Literature

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2019
Background. The aetiology of trigger digits has been debated since Notta first described them in 1850. Aetiology has been segregated for adult and paediatric presentations. While an adult trigger digit is most likely an acquired inflammatory process, the

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.

A placebo-controlled trial of folic acid and betaine in identical twins with Angelman syndrome. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundAngelman syndrome (AS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is caused by maternal genetic deficiency of a gene that encodes E6-AP ubiquitin-protein ligase (gene symbol UBE3A) mapping to chromosome 15q11-q13.

Do Parents Propagate Inequality Among Children? Evidence From Chinese and Swedish Twins

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Economists have long studied how parental behavior shapes within‐family inequality, yet empirical findings remain mixed. Using twins data from China and Sweden, we examine the predominant mechanisms reported in the literature. Parents in both countries invest similarly during childhood.

Increased expression and altered methylation of HERVWE1 in the human placentas of smaller fetuses from monozygotic, dichorionic, discordant twins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: The human endogenous retroviral family W, Env(C7), member 1 gene (HERVWE1) is thought to participate in trophoblast cell fusion, and its expression is diminished in the placentas of singleton intrauterine growth-retarded pregnancies. However,

Subclinical hypomania, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental diagnoses: phenotypic and aetiological overlap

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Subclinical hypomanic symptoms are fairly common in the general population but are linked to psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. However, the genetic and environmental origins of these associations are unclear. This twin study examined the phenotypic and aetiological associations between subclinical hypomania and psychiatric and ...
