Different phenotypic expression in monozygotic twins with Huntington disease.
Monozygotic (MZ), 46-year-old, male twins, carrying the same Huntington disease (HD) mutation, presented with a different clinical course. In one of the twins, the disease process started at the age of 32 years with chorea, dysarthria, and a depressed mood. Over 14 years, the disease progressed to total functional dependence. The second twin presented at age 35 with gait disturbances. His behav...
متن کاملFryns syndrome: a lethal mesoectodermal birth defect with variable expression in a pair of monozygotic twins.
We report a pair of twins with variable expressions of Fryns syndrome, both of whom died in the neonatal period. The syndrome is characterised by craniofacial dysmorphism, diaphragmatic hernia and distal limb hypoplasia. With this report, there are a total of 83 cases reported in the literature and this further serves to illustrate the clinical variability of this disorder.
متن کاملTurner's syndrome in monozygotic twins.
The clinical picture of short stature, neck webbing, and cubitus valgus was first described by Ulirich (1930) in males and females with normal pubertal development. In his classical description, Turner (I938) described a similar clinical picture in females who had primary amenorrhoea. Since the original description, numerous contributions have been made to the study of this syndrome: sex chroma...
متن کاملPhenotypic heterogeneity of dopa-responsive dystonia in monozygotic twins.
The clinical expression of dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) was found to be different in a pair of affected monozygotic twins. An earlier onset was associated with a more disabling course of disease. Whereas monozygosity was genetically proven, the search for pathogenic mutations in the GTP-cyclohydrolase-1 gene was negative. The contribution of environmental factors appeared minimal. Intrafamili...
متن کاملA Case of Monozygotic Twins: The Value of Discordant Monozygotic Twins in Goldenhar Syndrome—OMIM%164210
Goldenhar syndrome is a rare developmental disorder characterised by hemifacial microsomia, epibulbar tumours, ear malformation, and vertebral anomalies. As monozygotic (MZ) twins are believed to be genetically identical, discordance for disease phenotype between MZ twins varies with craniofacial anomalies, cardiac, vertebral, and central nervous system defects sporadically. We report a case of...
