Deletions within chromosome band 22q11.2 are associated with a variety of conditions, although a simple genotype-phenotype correlation has not been established so far. Environmental factors, chance events, or a second hit theory were supported by two observations of monozygotic twins with 22q11.2 de

The cause of Sotos syndrome is unknown but it usually occurs sporadically. Recent studies have shown no evidence of uniparental disomy. One set of concordant monozygotic twins has been reported. We have identified the Sotos syndrome in one of two 5-year-old male monozygotic twins. Our finding of dis

Wiedemann-Beckwith syndrome (WBS) is a congenital anomaly syndrome which classically consists of exomphalos, macroglossia, and gigantism. The syndrome is also associated with a variety of minor anomalies and affected individuals have an increased risk of developing rare embryonal cell tumors. To dat

We report on male monozygotic twins with 22q11.2 deletion and discordant phenotypes. The twins had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. Twin 1, the smaller of the pair, had Tetralogy of Fallot, a characteristic facial appearance, swallowing dysfunction, anal atresia, short stature, and mental retardat

Ectopia lentis has rarely been reported to occur in association with craniosynostosis, and this was found only in sporadic cases. We report on twin sisters who underwent surgery for craniosynostosis and later on, at age 3 years, were found to have bilateral ectopia lentis. Molecular studies yielded

We report on two sets of monozygotic twins (MZTs) discordant for phenotypic sex ascertained at birth when the female twin was noted to have signs of the Ullrich-Turner syndrome. Cytogenetic investigations on the female of the first pair showed 45,X/ 46,XY mosaicism in lymphocytes but fibroblasts gro
