The study group consisted of 13 pairs discordant for schizophrenia (N=10) or schizoaffective psychosis (N=3), according to ICD-10—established by the Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry —and 17 healthy comparison pairs. Patient 1 displays difficulty sitting still and focusing but does not meet the full DSM 5 criteria for ADHD. Table 2. Using well defined cohorts of discordant, monozygotic twins from the Michigan State University Twin Registry, and case-controlled ADHD cases in adolescents, the present studies utilized . discordance > 25% + UA PI > 95 th percentile, etc . METHOD. Discussion. Initially, we identified MZ twins believed by their parents to be discordant for ADHD through national support groups for ADHD and for families with twins. Discordant twin pairs were recruited through the Swedish (18) (9 pairs) and Danish (5 pairs) twin registries. We present monozygotic twins discordant for the autosomal dominant disorder neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). In case of unclear diagnosis of RA, participants were . The present case is notable for several reasons. By contrast, no significant differences were found between discordant . Table 1 shows baseline characteristics and obstetric data of the women. Of the 40 women, 27 (67.5%) were delivered of concordant twins and 13 (32.5%) were delivered of discordant twins. Discordant twins were tested for both differential DNA methylation and methylation variability between rheumatoid arthritis and healthy twins. Drug Use Outcomes in Twin Pairs Discordant for Cannabis Use Before Age 17 Years (N = 311 Pairs) . Both twins were re-examined at ages 35 and 57, at which times the unaffected twin continued to show no clinical manifestations of NF1.

What is Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome? Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a common anxiety-related diagnosis, affecting approximately 5% of the adult population. The affected twin was diagnosed with NF1 at age 12, based upon accepted clinical criteria for the disorder. The twins were 9-10 y old at the time of enrollment, in 2001, and have to date been assessed on five occasions over the course of 10 y of development at ages 9-10, 11-13, 14-15, 16-18, and 19-20 y. TTTS and TAPS occur when blood volume or oxygen is unevenly distributed between the twins and often requires intervention to provide the best chance of survival for both babies. The mean age at the . These variants were further filtered by using SIFT score <0.05 ( 25 ), Polyphen-2 score >0.85 ( 26 ) and other criteria [insufficient coverage (<5) and obvious false-positive variants]. EFW, estimated fetal . by a rheumatology clinical fellow to confirm the diagnosis of RA based on the American College of Rheumatology 1987 criteria (n = 17 RA twins). In studies that employ matched pair analysis to identify environmental exposures important for a disorder, criteria for discordant pairs are seldom discussed. Important factors in determining the route of delivery for a twin gestation include: Chorionicity, Fetal presentations, Gestational age, Estimated fetal weights and discordance, Availability of a skilled obstetrician trained in vaginal breech extraction including internal podalic version, management of nuchal arms, and use of Piper forceps.

Identical twins with discordant sexual orientations (24 male pairs, 32 female pairs) visibly differed in their gender nonconformity from mid-childhood, with higher levels of gender nonconformity observed in the nonstraight twins. In addition, an advertisement was published in the National Rheuma-toid Arthritis Society newsletter in spring 2013 to recruit twin volunteers with RA. Using strict statistical criteria, we identified 575 differentially expressed transcripts in PBLs of discordant twins, of which 369 were up-regulated and 206 were down-regulated in short sleep subjects relative to their long sleep twin pairs (Figure 1A, full list available as Supplementary Table S1). Monozygotic (MZ) twins represent an important resource in genetic studies related to normal development and disease. Identical Male Twins Discordant for Anorexia Nervosa: A Case Study.

Glucose tolerance was determined according to the 1999 World Health Organization criteria. The 11 twin pairs showed high concordance for presence and number of café-au-lait spots, cutaneous neurofibromas, IQ, and ADHD. TTTS - clinically defined as a deepest vertical pocket of > 8 cm in one twin and > 2 cm in in the other twin, simultaneously; TTTS can be seen overlapping with growth discordance, but these are separate diagnoses with different pathophysiologies; Twin anemia polycythemia sequence (TAPS) Non-TTTS amniotic fluid discordance; Discordant anomalies During the three-year period, 217 twin preg-nancies met the inclusion criteria. Both complications require more rigorous evaluation and have different staging criteria; management techniques are still evolving. However, it should be stressed that the affected patient described here does not fit the generally used criteria for BWS, 7 and that the finding of mosaic UPD supports the . Determination of chorionicity and serial ultrasound evaluation with a high index of suspicion for divergent growth is required for the diagnosis and . Our objective was to describe sleep architecture in CFS-discordant twin pairs. The co-twin control design (i.e., monozygotic [MZ] twins who are discordant for AN and MZ concordant control twin pairs) affords at least partial disambiguation of these effects. Twin growth discordance is a term used in obstetric imaging to describe a significant size or weight difference between the two fetuses of a twin pregnancy. The test correctly identified 6 of the 8 growth discordant twins which had a sensitivity of 75%, specificity of 68 . The affected twin was diagnosed with NF1 at age 12, based upon accepted clinical criteria for the disorder. . inclusion criteria and were enrolled in the present study. Eight participants (13.1%) would consider delivery if several criteria are met including gestational age and the presence of the twin-twin transfusion He was not mentally retarded and did not meet criteria for autism.

For discordant twins, 3 studies of 6008 total pregnancies have implicated discordance as a factor for adverse perinatal outcome.23, . Seventy four twin pairs discordant for Alzheimer's disease were found by linking the Finnish twin cohort and the Hospital Discharge Register from years 1972-91. Twin-twin discordance has previously been presented in the literature for a range of disorders, including: behavioural, endocrine, malignant, neurological, and psychiatric 27. Criteria C is the weakest criteria of the three, and may indicate a STEMI only 50% of the time. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors conducted a co-twin control study of 22 monozygotic twins in which one twin met criteria for CFS and the other was healthy. Monozygotic twin pairs discordant for schizophrenia and control monozygotic twin pairs from the U-TWIN cohort 36 were asked to participate in the study.

Objectives To evaluate the effect of selective feticide (SF) compared with expectant management (EM) on perinatal outcome in dichorionic (DC) and monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies discordant for anencephaly. Despite their singular origin, monozygotic twin pairs often display discordance for complex disorders including schizophrenia. . From this database, for each of the monozygotic twins in Québec, 4 singletons were selected with matching for the following criteria: 1) . One characteristic of GAD is a high degree of anxiety sensitivity (AS), a personality trait which describes the fear of arousal-related sensations. We identified 14 risk factors for divergent growth that can be categorized as maternal, fetal, or placental. Curado et. The study groups consisted of 15 sets of monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia (8 male and 7 female pairs) whose mean age (±SD) was 32.4±5.3 years (range, 25 to 44). Discordance of structural defects: The overall risk of structural defects is higher in MC twins (8%) compared to DC twins (3%) and there is a 5% risk of congenital cardiac defects. Among the 277 pairs who were discordant for marijuana dependence (that is, one twin but not the other met the criteria for a diagnosis of marijuana dependence), the dependent twins were 2.9 times as likely as their nondependent co-twins to think about suicide without attempting it, and 2.5 times as likely to make a suicide attempt; A variety of DNA-based methods have been applied to identify genetic markers of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but the connection to RNA-based gene expression has not been fully exploited. Mean maternal age was 28.5 + 5.9 .
