Twins with the same genes, grew from one egg that split into two; occur when a single egg is fertilized to form one zygote (hence, "monozygotic") which then divides into two separate embryos.
These results indicate that in monozygotictwins, brain development is not identical.
2
Given the concordance rate for schizophrenia in monozygotictwins is approx.
3
A pair of monozygotictwins concordant for Parkinson's disease are described.
4
We examined this claim in a pedigree that included two pairs of monozygotictwins.
5
To our best knowledge, there is no report in monozygotictwins with CD in Korea.
6
There were no monozygotictwins in these groups.
7
Despite the clear heritability of the disease, monozygotictwins are discordant for SCZ at a significant rate.
8
This case report is the first documented occurrence of concordant CD occurring in monozygotictwins in Korea.
9
Methods: Two monozygotictwins diagnosed as currently manic by the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV were studied.
10
This difference in brain development may contribute to the observed concordance rates in monozygotictwins with schizophrenia.
11
In the present study we investigated the oxidative stress profile in two monozygotictwins during a manic episode.
12
There were 580 monozygotictwins, 664 dizygotic twins and 333 of their siblings.
13
A concordance rate lower than 100% between monozygotictwins indicates a potential involvement of environmental factors on disease development.
14
Recent genome-wide epigenetic studies in disease-discordant monozygotictwins emphasize the power of this design to successfully identify epigenetic changes associated with complex traits.
15
Consequently, we adopted an inclusive approach to investigate the genetic risk contributing to a case of male monozygotictwins with ASD and ID.
16
Genetics While monozygotictwins have near identical genomes, environmental factors can lead to chemical changes to DNA and RNA (epigenetic effects).
