- Identical twins with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience large differences in symptom severity even though they share the same DNA. The findings suggest that identifying the causes of this variability may inform the treatment of ASD-related symptoms. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-12/nksn-soa122719.php 22 comments science
- A Brazilian judge has ruled that two identical twins must both pay maintenance for a nine-year-old girl after a DNA test failed to identify which was her father. Each man will have to pay 30% of Brazil’s monthly minimum salary and share the mother’s medical, dental, clothing and school costs. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/03/brazil-identical-twins-both-pay-maintenance-dna-test-positive 141 comments worldnews
- International researchers have compared the external ears of more than 1,400 people of multiple nationalities and found that the ear is as good an identifier of an individual as a fingerprint or DNA, and can even distinguish between identical twins. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1286011523000620?via%3Dihub= 73 comments science
- Half of our healthy neurons contain huge insertions or deletions in DNA, new research indicates. The findings may help explain what makes us each unique -- why even identical twins can be so different from one other, for example -- and how jumping genes can go awry and cause disease. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160912122600.htm 5 comments science
