Only nine pairs of dizygotictwins reared apart in Lishui were recruited.
2
Otherwise, mortality for monozygotic and dizygotictwins did not consistently differ after age 6.
3
The doctors told my mother she was expecting dizygotictwins, more commonly called fraternal twins.
4
A genome-wide linkage analysis was performed on the dizygotictwins using a modified version of the Haseman-Elston method.
5
There were 580 monozygotic twins, 664 dizygotictwins and 333 of their siblings.
6
Cephalograms were collected from 33 monozygotic and 46 dizygotictwins, who did not undergo any orthodontic treatment.
7
Mortality among female dizygotictwins was 1.77 times (0.18) higher than among monozygotic twins at age 30-59.
8
In the 3rd case ( dizygotictwins) the diagnosis was already set in the 20th week of pregnancy.
9
The cohort encompassed healthy children and adults from the Amazonas of Venezuela, rural Malawi and US metropolitan areas and included mono- and dizygotictwins.
10
No significant difference was found in concordance between monozygotic and dizygotictwins for physical activity, diet, smoking, alcohol intake and living together or apart.
11
Participants: A total of 47 families with two affected siblings (mostly dizygotictwins) and all available additional family members from the genetic isolate of Finland.
