Chromosome 22q11.2 microdeletion in monozygotic twins with discordant phenotype and deletion size
Molecular Cytogenetics, 2012 We report on a pair of male monozygotic twins with 22q11.2 microdeletion, discordant phenotype and discordant deletion size. The second twin had findings suggestive of DiGeorge syndrome, while the first twin had milder anomalies without any cardiac ...

Epigenetic discrimination of Lebanese monozygotic and dizygotic twins: Summarized notes in a single paper [PDF]
International Research Journal of Science, Technology, Education, and Management, 2021 Monozygotic twins’ differentiation is worldwide limited due to the fact that they share the same genotype. For forensic purposes, many studies involving monozygotic twins were accomplished.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Intra-Monozygotic Twin Pair Discordance and Longitudinal Variation of Whole-Genome Scale DNA Methylation in Adults. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Monozygotic twins share identical genomic DNA and are indistinguishable using conventional genetic markers. Increasing evidence indicates that monozygotic twins are epigenetically distinct, suggesting that a comparison between DNA methylation patterns ...

The Surviving Monozygotic Twin [PDF]
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1986 It has been suggested that because of vascular interchange between the monozygous twins vascular disruptions from a deceased cotwin with disseminated intravascular coagulation causes embolisation in the surviving twin. This study reports six cases in which all the surviving monozygous twins had central nervous system infarcts and three had multiple ...
