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 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 کاملIdentical osteochondritis dissecans lesions of the knee in sets of monozygotic twins.
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a focal, idiopathic alteration of subchondral bone structure with the risk for secondary damage to adjacent articular cartilage and the development of premature osteoarthritis. The exact etiology of OCD is unknown, although repetitive microtrauma and vascular insufficiency have been previously described. A genetic predisposition has been suggested, but the exi...
متن کاملDiscordant phenotypes in monozygotic twins with identical de novo WT1 mutation
Mutations in the WT1 gene, leading to Denys-Drash syndrome and Frasier syndrome, can also cause isolated steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (ISRNS). Previous studies have reported six pairs of monozygotic twins with WT1 mutations, including one presenting with discordant phenotypes with identical WT1 mutations being of paternal origin and five pairs of monozygotic twins presenting the same ph...
متن کاملIsolated oligodontia in monozygotic twins
This case report defines a case of isolated oligodontia of 9 and 10 permanent teeth in 9-year-old monozygotic twin sisters and gives information about the possible genetic and environmental etiology, related dental anomalies and treatment options. The twins have a negative family history of hypodontia and oligodontia in their parents, as well as their paternal and maternal grandmothers and firs...
