recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Annals of Neurology"

DOI: 10.1002/ana.26454

Abstract: Differences in gut microbiota between Parkinson's disease patients and controls seem to depend on multiple—frequently unmeasured—confounders. Monozygotic twins offer a unique model for controlling several factors responsible for interpersonal variation in gut microbiota. Fecal samples… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/pd.5850

Abstract: Zygosity is a description that reflects the type of conception, that is, whether a twin pair arise from one or two zygotes. Monozygotic (MZ) twins, developing from a single zygote, are assumed to be genetically… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Brain and Development"

DOI: 10.1016/j.braindev.2018.02.009

Abstract: We report a case of 14-month-old male monozygotic twins showing early-onset intractable epilepsy, delayed psychomotor development, hypotonia, opisthotonus, and dysmorphism. They presented with refractory partial and secondary generalized tonic-clonic or myoclonic seizures since age of… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "European journal of medical genetics"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmg.2017.01.004

Abstract: Pathogenic variants in theP21 protein (Cdc42/Rac)-activated kinase 3gene (PAK3) lead to a rare non syndromic X-linked intellectual disability. The protein encoded by this gene forms an activated complex with GTP-bound RAS-like (P21), CDC2 and RAC1… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmg.2019.103737

Abstract: Mutations in KDM5C (lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5C) were causally associated with up to 3% of X-linked intellectual disability (ID) in males. By exome and Sanger sequencing, a novel frameshift KDM5C variant, predicted to eliminate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2018.02.055

Abstract: BACKGROUND Abnormalities in affective cognition are putative endophenotypes for bipolar and unipolar disorders but it is unclear whether some abnormalities are disorder-specific. We therefore investigated affective cognition in monozygotic twins at familial risk of bipolar… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.legalmed.2017.12.011

Abstract: Distinction of one twin with respect to the other, based on external appearance, is challenging; nevertheless, facial morphology may provide individualizing features that may help distinguish twin siblings. This study aims at exposing an innovative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.08.176

Abstract: Background Colloid cysts are rare developmental lesions, accounting for approximately 1% of intracranial tumors. Often, these benign lesions are asymptomatic, but they are associated with significant mortality as a result of acute hydrocephalus. This mortality… read more here.
