Monozygotic Heterocaryotic Twinning [PDF]

Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae, 1974
Since the first publication in 1961, cases of monozygotic heterocaryotic twinning have been repeatedly found and a total of 14 observations can now be analysed. The mechanism involved in this type of twinning is yet uncertain and eventually is not identical in each case, the main uncertainty being to decide whether the chromosomal error affecting one ...

Increased DNA methylation variability in rheumatoid arthritis-discordant monozygotic twins

Genome Medicine, 2018
Rheumatoid arthritis is a common autoimmune disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Epigenome-wide association studies can identify environmentally mediated epigenetic changes such as altered DNA methylation, which may also be ...

Epigenetic supersimilarity of monozygotic twin pairs

Genome Biology, 2018
Background Monozygotic twins have long been studied to estimate heritability and explore epigenetic influences on phenotypic variation. The phenotypic and epigenetic similarities of monozygotic twins have been assumed to be largely due to their genetic ...

Research with twins: The concept of emergenesis. [PDF]

, 1982
Preliminaty findings from an on-going study of monozygotic twins reared apart (MZA) and data from a larger sample of twins reared together (MZT and DZT), indicate a surprisingly strong influence of genetic variation on aptitudes, psychophysiological ...

Urticaria in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins [PDF]

Journal of Allergy, 2012
Aim. To identify risk factors for urticaria, to determine the relative proportion of the susceptibility to urticaria that is due to genetic factors in an adult clinical twin sample, and to further determine whether the genetic susceptibility to urticaria overlaps with the genetic susceptibility to atopic diseases. Methods.
