| Description | Two families with twins — one in which adult DZ twins continue to face the risk of frontotemporal dementia, and the other in which a mother copes with brittle bones in a newborn infant MZ pair — are featured. The nature and progress of the disorders are reviewed and personal perspectives from the twins and other family members are variously provided. Next, four current twin studies are briefly summarized. Topics include sex differences in social support systems, new reproductive technologies, comparative twin-singleton frequencies of placenta previa, and the nature and complications of heterotopic pregnancies. This article concludes with a brief sampling of human interest stories involving twins: a different looking DZ pair, newborn sextuplets, conjoined twins and opposite-sex twin athletes. |
