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.

Discordance in monozygotic Parkinson's disease twins – continuum or dichotomy?

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2019
Differences in concordance rates between monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs with Parkinson's disease (PD) have been used to estimate genetic influences in PD pathogenesis.

Do Parents Propagate Inequality Among Children? Evidence From Chinese and Swedish Twins

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Economists have long studied how parental behavior shapes within‐family inequality, yet empirical findings remain mixed. Using twins data from China and Sweden, we examine the predominant mechanisms reported in the literature. Parents in both countries invest similarly during childhood.

Genetic Risk Meets the Intestinal Barrier

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
Top: At increasing cellular resolution, the Alegbe et al. report that expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) are enriched in enhancer regions rather than promoters. They speculate that enhancer eQTLs only come into effect during certain cellular contexts, making them more tolerable. Bottom: Alegbe et al.

Anthropometric differences between twins at birth and their association with later cognitive performance

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Past studies indicate significant associations between birth anthropometrics, such as relative birthweight or head circumference, and later cognitive performance. Using twin data, we investigated whether these associations are confounded by genetic and environmental factors.

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Obesity‐Related Coagulation Activation in Adolescents and Children: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Obesity is widely recognized as a pro‐thrombotic condition, yet the specific biomarker profile reflecting coagulation activation remains incompletely defined. Obesity is associated with increased coagulation activation, particularly in children, suggesting an early pro‐thrombotic shift.

Low Weight Loss Response to Incretin Analogs: A Systematic Review

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The development of GLP‐1 and GIP analogs has been a significant breakthrough in type 2 diabetes and obesity pharmacotherapy. However, individual responses to these medications can vary widely. This systematic review examines factors associated with low or no weight loss response to GLP‐1 and GIP analogs. Key predictors of poor response include

Chromosome 22q11.2 microdeletion in monozygotic twins with discordant phenotype and deletion size

Molecular Cytogenetics, 2012
We report on a pair of male monozygotic twins with 22q11.2 microdeletion, discordant phenotype and discordant deletion size. The second twin had findings suggestive of DiGeorge syndrome, while the first twin had milder anomalies without any cardiac ...

Genetic and Environmental Influences on Dental Arch Shape During Development: A Longitudinal Twin Study

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to determine the relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors to phenotypic variations of dental arch shape from the primary to permanent dentition stages. Materials and Methods Maxillary and mandibular digital models of 188 twin pairs (90 monozygotic and 98 dizygotic) in the primary dentition stage ...
