Marital Status and Unobserved Heterogeneity - Do twins suggest a genetic inheritance? [PDF]
The purpose of this study is to reveal the importance of unobserved heterogeneity on marital status. The results for monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic twins indicate an important genetic component in marital status.

Viruses in the fecal microbiota of monozygotic twins and their mothers
Nature, 2010 Viral diversity and life cycles are poorly understood in the human gut and other body habitats. Phages and their encoded functions may provide informative signatures of a human microbiota and of microbial community responses to various disturbances, and ...

Autistic traits in childhood and post‐traumatic stress disorder as young adults: a cohort study
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.Background Despite the higher prevalence of childhood traumatic experiences and post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in autistic adults, research on trauma‐related psychopathology and autistic traits in young people is lacking. This study examined if high autistic traits in childhood predispose individuals to traumatic experiences, the development of ...

Pan-Cancer Epigenetic Biomarker Selection from Blood Samples Using SAS [PDF]
MWSUG 2018 conference proceedings, 2018 A key focus in current cancer research is the discovery of cancer biomarkers that allow earlier detection with high accuracy and lower costs for both patients and hospitals. Blood samples have long been used as a health status indicator, but DNA methylation signatures in blood have not been fully appreciated in cancer research.

Does Early Life Health Predict Schooling Within Twin Pairs? [PDF]
A large number of studies in labor economics estimate the returns to schooling using data on monozygotic twins, under the assumption that educational attainment is random within twin pairs. This exogeneity assumption has been commonly questioned, however,

Anatomical abnormalities in the brains of monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia.
New England Journal of Medicine, 1990 Recent neuroradiologic and neuropathological studies indicate that at least some patients with schizophrenia have slightly enlarged cerebral ventricles and subtle anatomical abnormalities in the region of the anterior hippocampus.

Two's company: Monozygotic twinning in the small‐spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula)
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Developmental abnormalities in elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are rarely documented, with reported cases primarily involving fin or cranial deformities. Monozygotic twinning, the formation of identical twins from a single zygote, is particularly rare in these species and has been observed overwhelmingly in viviparous elasmobranchs.

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 ...
