Application of intraoral scanner to identify monozygotic twins

BMC Oral Health, 2020
Background DNA base identification is a proper and high specificity method. However, identification could be challenged in a situation where there is no database or the DNA sequence is almost identical, as in the case of monozygotic (MZ) twins.

The control of ovulation in mothers of dizygotic twins. [PDF]

Dizygotic twinning is familial, suggesting that there may be an inherited abnormality of the control of ovulation that predisposes to double ovulation and, therefore, dizygotic twins. The present study examines 17 mothers of dizygotic twins (MODZT) and 8 control mothers of singletons by daily blood sampling throughout an entire menstrual cycle.
