2] Previous studies have shown that the concordance rate of monozygotic twins with psoriasis is greater than that of dizygotic twins,[3],[4] with genetic factors underpinning 66-90% of the variation in risk of developing psoriasis.

The pattern of mortality hazard ratios in nine age groups in unrelated members of the general population and in half-siblings, full-siblings, and monozygotic twins discordant for alcohol abuse disorders was assessed using a database including information for all people born in Sweden from 1940 to 1965 who had not died or migrated before 1973 or the age of 15 years (JAMA Psychiatry.

I will first study the impact of bully-victimization on children s methylation of DNA and neurocognitive function development in monozygotic twins differing in bully-victimization, to test whether bully-victimization affects the neurobiology above and beyond possible genetic effects.

To determine nature's and nurture's relative contributions, Davis and his colleagues turned to a century-old method of teasing apart environmental and hereditary influences: They compared pairs of monozygotic twins -- best known to most of us as "identical" -- and of dizygotic, or fraternal, twins.

Doctors said that the condition is usually found in monozygotic twins ( originating from the same fertilised ovum) but what made the surgery critical were the rare blood group the two babies shared and the need for extensive cranial re- modelling.
