A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins
Nature, 2008 The human distal gut harbours a vast ensemble of microbes (the microbiota) that provide important metabolic capabilities, including the ability to extract energy from otherwise indigestible dietary polysaccharides.

Isolated oligodontia in monozygotic twins [PDF]
European Journal of Dentistry, 2013 ABSTRACTThis case report defines a case of isolated oligodontia of 9 and 10 permanent teeth in 9-year-old monozygotic twin sisters and gives information about the possible genetic and environmental etiology, related dental anomalies and treatment options.

Concordant Intestinal Atresia in Two Pairs of Monozygotic Twins
American Journal of Perinatology Reports, 2011 Intestinal atresia in both twins from the same pregnancy is very rare. Only seven pairs of twins have been described. The authors report on two cases of monozygotic twins with different types of intestinal atresia and clinical evolution.

Efficient Pairwise Neuroimage Analysis using the Soft Jaccard Index and 3D Keypoint Sets [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We propose a novel pairwise distance measure between image keypoint sets, for the purpose of large-scale medical image indexing. Our measure generalizes the Jaccard index to account for soft set equivalence (SSE) between keypoint elements, via an adaptive kernel framework modeling uncertainty in keypoint appearance and geometry.

The host genotype affects the bacterial community in the human gastrointestinal tract [PDF]
, 2001 The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is one of the most complex ecosystems consisting of microbial and host cells. It is suggested that the host genotype, the physiology of the host and environmental factors affect the composition and function of the ...

Epigenetics of discordant monozygotic twins: implications for disease
Genome Medicine, 2014 Monozygotic (MZ) twins share nearly all of their genetic variants and many similar environments before and after birth. However, they can also show phenotypic discordance for a wide range of traits.

Discordant renal progression of Fabry disease in male monozygotic twins: a case report
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Background: Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the GLA gene that encodes α-galactosidase A (α-GAL).

An integrated epigenomic analysis for type 2 diabetes susceptibility loci in monozygotic twins
Nature Communications, 2014 DNA methylation has a great potential for understanding the aetiology of common complex traits such as Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here we perform genome-wide methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeDIP-seq) in whole-blood-derived DNA from 27 ...

Indian twin registry: A gold mine for genetic studies
Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023 Twins are a source of curiosity, both for the family and the scientific community. Genetic similarities between twins have been the preferred choice to study the heritability of traits.
