We have tested the hypothesis that contrasting X-inactivation patterns could be a trigger for monozygotic twinning in females. X-inactivation patterns were studied in umbilical cord tissue in 43 monozygotic twin pairs and 24 dizygotic twin pairs. Very skewed or non-random X-inactivation patterns wer
Wiedemann-Beckwith syndrome (WBS) is a syndrome including exomphalos, macroglossia, and generalized overgrowth. The locus has been assigned to llp15.5, and genomic imprinting may play a part in the expression of one or more genes involved. Most cases are sporadic. An excess of female monozygotic twi
## Abstract Evidence from previous studies has suggested that the interโindividual differences in human brainโwave patterns (EEG) are predominantly determined by genetic factors. In particular, the withinโpair EEG concordance of monozygotic (mz) twins was found to be typically as high as rโ=โ0.81 a
