The association between birth weight and plasma fibrinogen is abolished after the elimination of genetic influences [PDF]
, 2003 Low birth weight is associated with an increased risk of atherothrombosis, which may be related in part to the association between low birth weight and high plasma fibrinogen.

The Impact of Environmental and Genetic Factors on Bone Quality in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins
Biomedicines, 2022 The purpose of the research was to assess the genetic and environmental influences on bone properties. One hundred thirty-two pairs of twins (99/33 monozygotic/dizygotic) underwent anthropometric measurements and phalangeal quantitative ultrasound (DBM ...

Human Reproduction Update, 2007 The tendency to conceive spontaneous dizygotic (DZ) twins is a complex trait with important contributions from both environmental factors and genetic disposition. Twins are relatively common and occur on average 13 times per 1000 maternities, though the twinning frequency varies over time and geographic location.

Isolated imperforate anus in dizygotic twins
Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2023 The authors report an isolated imperforate anus case in a dizygotic twin, which is the first reported case in the literature, the other reported cases were in monozygotic twins.

Fathering of dizygotic twins and risk of prostate cancer: nationwide, population-based case-control study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: An association between male fertility and risk of prostate cancer has been suggested, possibly through lower androgen levels in subfertile men.

Indian twin registry: A gold mine for genetic studies
Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023 Twins are a source of curiosity, both for the family and the scientific community. Genetic similarities between twins have been the preferred choice to study the heritability of traits.

Rare spontaneous monochorionic dizygotic twins: a case report and a systematic review
BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2022 Background Monochorionic dizygotic twins are a rare condition, mostly related to assisted reproductive technology. This type of twinning is burdened by the same risk of pregnancy complications found in monochorionic monozygotic pregnancies.

Genetic modelling of dizygotic twinning in pedigrees of spontaneous dizygotic twins [PDF]
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1996 The inheritance of spontaneous dizygotic (DZ) twinning was investigated in 1,422 three-generation pedigrees ascertained through mothers of spontaneous DZ proband twins. DZ twinning was modelled as a trait expressed only in women. The penetrance was modelled first as a parity independent and secondly as parity dependent.

Handedness in twins: meta-analyses
BMC Psychology, 2022 Background In the general population, 10.6% of people favor their left hand over the right for motor tasks. Previous research suggests higher prevalence of atypical (left-, mixed-, or non-right-) handedness in (i) twins compared to singletons, and in (ii)
