Bivariate genetic modelling of the response to an oral glucose tolerance challenge: A gene x environment interaction approach [PDF]
, 2009 AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Twin and family studies have shown the importance of genetic factors influencing fasting and 2 h glucose and insulin levels. However, the genetics of the physiological response to a glucose load has not been thoroughly investigated ...

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 ...

Molar incisor hypomineralisation: current knowledge and practice
International Dental Journal, EarlyView., 2020 Background Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a common developmental dental condition that presents in childhood. Areas of poorly formed enamel affect one or more first permanent molars and can cause opacities on the anterior teeth. MIH presents a variety of challenges for the dental team as well as functional and social impacts for affected ...

Discordant phenotypes in twins with infantile nystagmus
Scientific Reports, 2021 Infantile nystagmus (IN) may result from aetiologies including albinism and FRMD7 mutations. IN has low prevalence, and twins with IN are rare. Whilst discordant presentation has been previously reported for IN, we present for the first time the ...

Risk of psychiatric disorders among the surviving twins after a co-twin loss
eLife, 2020 Losing a co-twin by death is a severely stressful event yet with unknown impact on the surviving twin’s risk of psychiatric disorders. We identified all Swedish-born twins who lost a co-twin by death between 1973 and 2013 (n = 4,528), their 4939 non-twin

Twinning rate trend in a population sample from the city of São Paulo, Brazil
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2003 A retrospective study was carried out on a sample consisting of 89,491 deliveries occurred from 1979 through 1998, in the city of São Paulo, SP, Brazil. These deliveries included 935 twin and 26 triplet births. The mean incidence per 1,000 deliveries was

Case Report: Identification of Germline Chimerism in Monochorionic Dizygotic Twins
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Monochorionic twins are generally considered to be monozygotic, as monochorionic dizygotic (MCDZ) twins are extremely rare in natural pregnancies. Several studies have reported this rare occurrence, and most of these pregnancies have been conceived by ...
