Equivalent DNA methylation variation between monozygotic co-twins and unrelated individuals reveals universal epigenetic inter-individual dissimilarity

Genome Biology, 2021
Background Although the genomes of monozygotic twins are practically identical, their methylomes may evolve divergently throughout their lifetime as a consequence of factors such as the environment or aging. Particularly for young and healthy monozygotic

“Identical” double parathyroid adenomas in monozygotic twins

Otolaryngology Case Reports, 2021
A number of genes have been associated with sporadic causes of primary hyperparathyroidism. A case of primary hyperparathyroidism secondary to simultaneously presenting double parathyroid adenomas with identical distribution in a set of 48-year-old ...

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 ...

Monozygotic twins discordant for low-level mosaic trisomy 17 at amniocentesis in a pregnancy with a favorable outcome and a literature review of heterokaryotypic monozygotic twins at amniocentesis

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2020
Objective: We present a set of twins discordant for low-level mosaic trisomy 17 at amniocentesis, and we review the literature of heterokaryotypic monozygotic twins at amniocentesis.

Whole genome and exome sequencing of monozygotic twins discordant for Crohn’s disease

BMC Genomics, 2014
BackgroundCrohn’s disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease caused by genetic and environmental factors. More than 160 susceptibility loci have been identified for IBD, yet a large part of the genetic variance remains unexplained. Recent studies have

Generation and characterization of human-derived iPSC lines from three pairs of monozygotic twins discordant for Parkinson's disease

Stem Cell Research, 2019
Despite a genetic component in the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD), monozygotic twin pairs often display discordance for PD. Here, we describe the generation of six human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from dermal fibroblasts of three

Genetic and environmental influences on sleep quality, ability to settle, and crying duration in 2‐ and 5‐month‐old infants: A longitudinal twin study

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
This study found that genetic factors largely influence crying duration and settle ability in infancy, while shared environmental factors primarily affect the number of night wakeups. Etiological influences tended to change from 2 to 5 months, reflecting a highly plastic period in infant brain development and in child‐environment interactions. Abstract
