In examining genetic influences on biological variables using twins, it may be important to examine the distribution between and within twin pairs of demographic and lifestyle factors that may themselves affect the biological variable being studied. We explored the distribution of demographic and li

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

We report on a pair of monozygotic twins with probable Baller-Gerold syndrome (BGS). Twin A had severe coronal craniosynostosis. Twin B had right radioulnar and ipsilateral first metacarpal hypoplasia. Both had bilateral fifth finger clinodactyly. Assuming that the twins were truly monozygotic, a si
AEKTRACT: Previous twin studies have provided evidence for genetic intluences on reading disability (RD) or "normal" reading ability. The existence of subtypes of RDeach with its characteristic cognitive profile -has been suggested. Whether the etiology of the particular subtypes is genetic is uncer
