The nature and nurture of primary and secondary callous–unemotional traits: evidence from two independent twin samples

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Callous–unemotional (CU) traits identify youth with more severe and chronic trajectories of conduct problems. However, the etiology of CU traits may be heterogeneous, undermining the search for effective treatments. The level of co‐occurring anxiety has been used to identify “primary” (lower anxiety) versus “secondary” (higher anxiety ...

Genome-Wide Analysis of DNA Methylation Differences in Muscle and Fat from Monozygotic Twins Discordant for Type 2 Diabetes

PLoS ONE, 2012
Background Monozygotic twins discordant for type 2 diabetes constitute an ideal model to study environmental contributions to type 2 diabetic traits. We aimed to examine whether global DNA methylation differences exist in major glucose metabolic tissues ...

Multivariate maternal effects across the internalizing–externalizing spectrum in childhood: results from the Norwegian mother, father, and child cohort study

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background From a functionalist perspective, parenting behaviors have adaptive functions and are partly expressions of genetic variation. Maternal genes that have effects on children are often referred to as indirect maternal genetic effects. Indirect genetic effects provide a means for measuring the role of parenting without the need for specifying ...

Trigger Twins: 2 Cases of Ipsilateral Twin Trigger Digit and a Review of Published Literature

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2019
Background. The aetiology of trigger digits has been debated since Notta first described them in 1850. Aetiology has been segregated for adult and paediatric presentations. While an adult trigger digit is most likely an acquired inflammatory process, the

Outcome of two pairs of monozygotic twins with pleuropulmonary blastoma: case report

Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2020
Background Pleuropulmonary blastomas (PPB) are rare aggressive paediatric lung malignancies and are among the most common DICER1-related disorders: it is estimated that 75–80% of children with a PPB have the DICER1 mutation.

Increased expression and altered methylation of HERVWE1 in the human placentas of smaller fetuses from monozygotic, dichorionic, discordant twins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: The human endogenous retroviral family W, Env(C7), member 1 gene (HERVWE1) is thought to participate in trophoblast cell fusion, and its expression is diminished in the placentas of singleton intrauterine growth-retarded pregnancies. However,

Psycho‐social factors associated with disagreement between prospective and retrospective measures of childhood maltreatment

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Prospective and retrospective measures of childhood maltreatment often identify different individuals and are differentially associated with psychopathology. This study examines psycho‐social factors that may explain discrepancies between these measures.

DNA Methylation and Gene Expression Changes in Monozygotic Twins Discordant for Psoriasis: Identification of Epigenetically Dysregulated Genes

PLoS Genetics, 2012
Monozygotic (MZ) twins do not show complete concordance for many complex diseases; for example, discordance rates for autoimmune diseases are 20%–80%. MZ discordance indicates a role for epigenetic or environmental factors in disease.

Are Wednesday's Children Full of Woe? Children's Differences in Personality Are Independent of Day of Birth

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Nursery rhymes, which are rich in literary devices, benefit children's language learning. Less is known about the influence that nursery rhymes' messages may have on children's development. We focused on “Monday's Child,” a popular nursery rhyme that alleges children's day of the week of birth forecasts their differences in ...
