Monozygotic twins: identical in name only.
To the Editor: We found the study of clinical responses to opioids by Angst et al.1 to be an excellent first-of-its-kind study for distinguishing the contribution of heredity versus environment. Much work has been done using twins to separate heredity from environment and this addition to our literature is timely. Although the use of twins to separate nature from nurture is a long-established m...
متن کاملIdentical atherosclerotic lesions in identical twins.
In 1997, a 55-year-old man underwent percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of a lesion in the middle segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) (Figure, A). He subsequently informed his cardiologist that his twin brother had also been treated successfully with PTCA at another hospital for stenosis of the LAD. The cineangiographic film of the twin brother was retrieved (Jac...
متن کاملIdentical but not the same: the value of discordant monozygotic twins in genetic research.
Monozygotic (MZ) twins show remarkable resemblance in many aspects of behavior, health, and disease. Until recently, MZ twins were usually called "genetically identical"; however, evidence for genetic and epigenetic differences within rare MZ twin pairs has accumulated. Here, we summarize the literature on MZ twins discordant for Mendelian inherited disorders and chromosomal abnormalities. A sy...
متن کاملa study of malocclusion in identical twins
monozygotic twins are genetically identical individuals who can also be mirror image twins and the differences between them result from environmental factors. current study, monozygotic twins were analyzed in different dentitions of primary, mixed and permanent. as a conclusion, although genetic factors are naturally potent, environmental factors’ role can be increased and weaken the genetic fa...
متن کاملNarcolepsy in identical twins.
Narcolepsy has been observed in chronic encephalitis, cerebral arteriosclerosis, brain tumour, and following trauma, but when these cases are excluded there remains a group without demonstrable brain pathology. The existence of this idiopathic group has been a controversial subject. Among the more impressive evidence is that suggesting a hereditary factor in idiopathic narcolepsy. To date this ...
