discordant tooth agenesis and peg-shaped in a pair of monozygotic twins: clinical and molecular study
نویسندگان
چکیده
the present report aimed to study an uncommon case of a pair of twins that presented a discordant dental phenotype. family investigation, clinical, radiographic examination and molecular analysis were performed in both girls. molecular analysis confirmed the monozygosity by deoxyribonucleic acid chip technology. one twin presented tooth agenesis in left upper lateral incisor and peg-shaped on the contra lateral side while the other twin had no dental alterations. the dental casts study employed digital caliper to compare morphological dimensions and showed alteration only in peg-shaped tooth. in conclusion, this study provide support that one or more mutated gene could cause discordances in dental phenotype in these monozygotic twins. key words: dental anomalies, dental development, monozygotic twins, tooth agenesis

متن کاملCerebellar asymmetry in a pair of monozygotic handedness-discordant twins.
Increasing evidence for a cerebellar role in human cognition has accrued with respect to anatomically and functionally distinct lobules. Questions of laterality, however, have been largely overlooked. This study therefore introduced and applied a novel measurement protocol for comparatively bias-free analysis of cerebellar asymmetries. Volumetric measurements were performed on magnetic resonanc...
متن کاملRenal transplantation between monozygotic twins discordant for unilateral renal agenesis.
CASE REPORT The patient was a 26 year old man who presented with typical symptoms of endstage renal failure in December, 1971. Prior to this he had always been well, though his mother remembered that he had a "chill on the kidneys" at the age of 6 years. The family history was negative for renal disease. He had a twin brother. On examination he was clinically anaemic and uraemric. Blood pressur...
متن کاملImpacted Primary Tooth and Tooth Agenesis: A Case Report of Monozygotic Twins
In the present report, a case of 19 year-old monozygotic twin brothers with similar tooth agenesis and impacted primary teeth is presented. Both twins (HDH, DHH) had agenesis of ten and eleven teeth (respectively), third molars excluded, consistent with oligodontia and both had four impacted primary teeth and the permanent successors of all these primary teeth were congenitally missing. The occ...
متن کاملSynaesthesia: a case study of discordant monozygotic twins.
We describe a study of 11-year-old twin sisters who are physically identical in appearance but who have considerably different conscious experiences. One twin appears to be a synaesthete in that she states that she has specific colour experiences (i.e. photisms) whenever she views, hears or thinks of digits. The other twin does not report such conscious experiences when viewing, hearing or thin...
متن کاملa contrastive study of rhetorical functions of citation in iranian and international elt scopus journals
writing an academic article requires the researchers to provide support for their works by learning how to cite the works of others. various studies regarding the analysis of citation in m.a theses have been done, while little work has been done on comparison of citations among elt scopus journal articles, and so the dearth of research in this area demands for further investigation into citatio...
