7 sty 2021 · Here we show that monozygotic twins differ on average by 5.2 early developmental mutations and that approximately 15% of monozygotic twins have a substantial number of these early developmental...

Four theories are presently available to explain the mechanism of zygotic splitting: the so-called cell repulsionhypothesis (Hall, 1996), the existence of co-dominant axes (Baldwin, 1994), depressed calcium levels in the early embryo (Steinman & Valderrama, 2001), and the blastomere herniation hypothesis (Hall, 2003; Blickstein, 2005).
13 sty 2021 · A new study in Nature Genetics used whole-genome sequencing of monozygotic twins, their parents, partners and offspring to identify and characterize early developmental mutations, as well as...
21 cze 2015 · From the considered model, the probability of monozygotic twins is found to be (1/2) K, and we discover that the probability of monozygotic quadruplets, or triplets as in the case of the death of an embryo, is (1/8) K, where K is a species-specific integer
10 lip 2024 · Monozygotic (MZ) twins are believed to arise from the fission of a single fertilized embryo at different stages. Monochorionic MZ twins, who share one chorion, originate from the splitting of the inner cell mass (ICM) within a single blastocyst.
10 gru 2011 · Monozygotic twins are considered to be genetically identical, yet can show high discordance in their phenotypes and disease susceptibility. Several studies have emphasized the influence of external factors and the role of epigenetic polymorphism in conferring this variability.
Zygosity refers to the genetic makeup of the pregnancy, or the number of zygotes that become fertilized leading to a multiple birth. Twins, in rarer cases triplets, quadruplets (four), quintuplets (five), arising from a single fertilized ovum are termed monozygotic (MZ).
