Risk Factors and Relationship of Cutaneous and Uveal Melanocytic Lesions in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twin Pairs
BACKGROUND The similar genetic background of a pair of twins, and the similar environmental impacts to which they are exposed allow an exact and objective investigation of various constitutional and environmental factors in naevus development. As far as we are aware, this is the first published survey that simultaneously examines cutaneous and ocular pigmented lesions in an appreciable sample o...
متن کاملComparative coronary anatomy in six twin pairs with coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVE To compare the coronary anatomy and the location of coronary lesions in monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs affected with coronary artery disease. DESIGN Coronary angiographic findings were compared with respect to the distribution of coronary blood supply and the location of coronary lesions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Distribution of coronary blood supply, diameters and length of pr...
متن کاملEpidemiology and Prevention Birth Weight Predicts Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Within Dizygotic but Not Monozygotic Twin Pairs A Large Population-Based Co-Twin–Control Study
Background—The widely reported inverse association between birth weight and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has sparked theories about early life determinants of adult disease. Within-twin-pair analysis provides a unique opportunity to investigate whether factors shared within twin pairs influence the association. Methods and Results—In a population-based cohort of like-sexed twins with kn...

متن کاملGenetic liability in stroke: a long-term follow-up study of Danish twins.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few studies have assessed the overall importance of genetic factors on stroke risk, and the results have been contradictory. We used a large, population-based twin register and nationwide registries of death and hospitalization with long-term follow-up to estimate the effect of genetic factors on the risk of stroke. METHODS Through the population-based Danish Twin Regis...
