Genome and epigenome analysis of monozygotic twins discordant for congenital heart disease
4 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading non-infectious cause of death in infants. Monozygotic (MZ) twins share nearly all of their genetic variants before and after birth. Nevertheless, MZ twins are sometimes discordant for common complex diseases. The goal of this study is to identify genomic and epigenomic differences between a pair of twins discordant for a form of congenital heart disease,...
