Book ChapterDOI
Anomalous Development of Twins
TL;DR: Developmental/morphologic/structural anomalies are discussed separate from the sorts of diseases and disorders reviewed in Chapter 6, so there is probably more the authors can learn from reviewing them in a broader context.

Multiple births and congenital anomalies in Tokyo Metropolitan Hospitals, 1979-1990.
TL;DR: The rate of multiple births and the incidence of congenital anomalies in Tokyo Metropolitan Hospitals were studied during the period 1979-1990, and though some anomalies had a significantly higher frequency in twins than in singletons, the concordance rate in the like-sexed twins was very low.
Journal ArticleDOI
Congenital cardiovascular malformations in twins and triplets from a population-based study.
TL;DR: The twinning process itself may be implicated in the development of congenital cardiovascular malformations in some of these infants, especially those with looping defects, but concordance of types of defects in 4 of 65 pairs implicates genetic factors in the determination of some forms of congenitals cardiovascular mal Formations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental differences between singletons and twins in distributions of dental diameter asymmetries.
TL;DR: Distribution of dental diameters is used, as a model subsystem of craniofacial development, to show that twins, of both zygosities and both sexes, are substantially more symmetrical than singletons.

TL;DR: The observation of higher concordance rates for MZ compared to DZ twin pairs indicates that genetic factors contribute to isolated esophageal atresia.
