Background Composite tissue allotransplants are performed for various defects when local, or distant reconstructive options are limited. Though this type of transplant replaces similar tissue, it is complicated by immunosuppression.

Discordant phenotypes in twins with infantile nystagmus
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]
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 Gut Microbiota Composition in Dichorionic Triplet Sets Suggests a Role for Host Genetic Factors [PDF]
peer-reviewedMonozygotic and dizygotic twin studies investigating the relative roles of host genetics and environmental factors in shaping gut microbiota composition have produced conflicting results.

Is that me or my twin? Lack of self-face recognition advantage in identical twins. [PDF]
Despite the increasing interest in twin studies and the stunning amount of research on face recognition, the ability of adult identical twins to discriminate their own faces from those of their co-twins has been scarcely investigated.

DNA methylation signatures of monozygotic twins clinically discordant for multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with a modest concordance rate in monozygotic twins, which strongly argues for involvement of epigenetic factors.
