The use of the twin model to investigate the genetics and epigenetics of skin diseases with genomic, transcriptomic and methylation data

Abstract

Twins have always fascinated medical research even before the discovery of DNA and the understanding of the differences between identical and non-identical twins. Dermatology with the benefit of being able to visualize phenotypes was one of the first specialities reporting on the fascinating concordance in identical (MZ) twins in the 1920’s. Over the last 20 years, the heritability of skin diseases using twins has been clearly demonstrated, across a wide variety of traits including melanoma, polymorphic light eruption, psoriasis, eczema and acne. Other rarer diseases have also been shown to have ...
