Project description:Genome-wide MeDIP-Sequencing of 23 monozygotic twin pairs (n=46) from Australia discordant for major depressive disorder (MDD). MeDIP-seq of 23 monozygotic twin pairs discordant for major depressive disorder. MZ twin pairs were compared to identify significantly differently methylated sites associated with MDD.
Project description:DNA methylation data for 479 women from 130 families including 66 monozygotic twin pairs, 66 dizygotic twin pairs and 215 sisters of twins.
Project description:Gene expression profiling in peripheral blood cells from monozygotic twin pairs with various sytemic autoimmune diseases revealed 92 genes that could discriminate between MZ twin pairs and unrelated-matched controls. No genes were found that could discriminate between proband and unaffected twin pairs, or between the various disease phenotypes.
Project description:The aim of the project was to identify altered plasma proteins and altered plasma N-glycopeptides from monozygotic twin pairs who are discordant for body weight. We performed targeted quantitative N-glycoproteomics from plasma samples from 48 twin pairs (n = 96 individuals).
Project description:The study aims to assess gene expression in plaque samples collected from twin pairs that are both concordant and discordant with respect to dental Caries diagnosis. File Naming Conventions are as follows: Patient ID : 4 digit identifier Diagnosis : Caries Negative(CN) or Caries Positive(CP) Type of Twin: Monozygotic(MZ)or Dizygotic(DZ) Pair to xxxx: 4 digit twin identifier maps to the Patient ID E.g: 2126_CP_MZ_PairTo_2125_fastqc - 2126 is a caries positive patient and pairs to monozygotic twin pair 2125. Plaque samples from twin pairs that are both concordant and discordant with respect to dental Caries diagnosis are enriched for bacterial messenger RNA to study the gene expression differences in the samples.
Project description:Peripheral blood from thirty-four monozygotic twin subjects from the general population (n = 17 twin pairs) was collected for epigenomic analysis via Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip. All subjects were screened for DSM-IV based criteria for both current and lifetime psychiatric disorders. Out of 17 twin pairs, there were: 7 healthy twin pairs where none of the twins of a pair met criteria for any DSM-IV disorder; 6 discordant twin pairs where only one of the twins of each pair met diagnostic criteria; and 4 concordant twin pairs where both twins of a pair met clinical DSM-IV based criteria.
Project description:The aim of the project was to identify altered plasma proteins and altered plasma N-glycopeptides from monozygotic twin pairs who are discordant for body weight. We performed targeted quantitative N-glycoproteomics from plasma samples from 48 twin pairs (n = 96 individuals). This is the N-Glycopeptidomics part of the project. Proteomics of the same project has the accession number of PXD041384.
