Despite sharing DNA sequences, monozygotic twins are epigenetically distinct and express different genes, offering a model to ...

We present a case of monozygotic twins who are discordant for breast cancer and chemotherapy exposure (ie, one twin contracted breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy, and the other had no breast ...

Identical (monozygotic) twins are almost 100% genetically identical, meaning that any differences in their characteristics are likely to be due to the environments they each experience.

Abstract Genetics of monozygotic twins reveals the impact of environmental sensitivity on psychiatric and neurodevelopmental phenotypes Individual sensitivity to environmental exposures may be ...

A new study reveals that typically developing twins consistently take on the dominant role over their nontypically developing siblings, even after developmental gaps are resolved. By highlighting how ...

A new study reveals that developmental differences strongly influence dominance roles in twin relationships, with typically developing twins perceived as dominant over their nontypically developing ...

The two most common types of twins are dizygotic (fraternal) and monozygotic (identical). Learn more about them and what may possibly cause multiple births.

Facial Similarity Measure for Recognizing Monozygotic Twins Utilizing 3D Facial Landmarks, Efficient Geodesic Distance Computation, and Machine Learning Algorithms ...

This study investigates how monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins process emotional experiences, concentrating on the influence of genetic and environmental factors. Monozygotic twins, who share ...
