Abstract

A pair of monozygotic twins who are concordant for dementia of frontal lobe type are discussed. This is believed to be the first case report of twins with this type of dementia. The salient features of dementia of frontal lobe type are also discussed.

Nine (1 2%) of 78 consecutive first admissions to psychogeriatric day units fulfilled an operational definition for dementia of frontal lobe type (DFT). These cases showed many of the behavioural, neuropsychological and neurophysiological features of DFT reported in presenile subjects. They accounte

The oral-facial-digital syndrome type 1 (OFD1) includes limb, facial, intraoral malformations and the gene for the disorder was recently mapped to Xp22.3-p22.2. We report on monozygotic twin girls discordant for OFD1. Monozygosity is supported by placental pathology (monochorionic diamniotic) and mo

## Abstract Previous studies on concordant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in identical twins have identified the leukemia as monoclonal with __MLL__ or __ETV__6‐__RUNX1__ gene fusion as early or initiating events in utero. In the latter case, postnatal latency is associated with secondary genet
