Genetic and environmental influences on sleep quality, ability to settle, and crying duration in 2‐ and 5‐month‐old infants: A longitudinal twin study

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
This study found that genetic factors largely influence crying duration and settle ability in infancy, while shared environmental factors primarily affect the number of night wakeups. Etiological influences tended to change from 2 to 5 months, reflecting a highly plastic period in infant brain development and in child‐environment interactions. Abstract

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.

Association of cumulative early medical events and neurodevelopmental conditions through a common latent factor—A population‐based twin study

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The cumulative effect of early medical events has been shown to be associated with autism. It is unclear whether this effect is specific to autism or if it is associated to other neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs) as well. Methods We established a registry‐linked population‐based twin cohort of 10,254 pairs within the child and ...

Hemophilia A: An Ideal Disease for Prenatal Therapy

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemophilia A (HA) is the most common inherited coagulation defect. Current state‐of‐the‐art treatment consists of frequent administration of prophylactic infusions of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) protein or bispecific antibodies that replace the cofactor function of FVIIIa to maintain hemostasis. However, these treatments are far from ideal,
