  • Title: Growth disparity in monozygotic twins discordant for chronic renal disease.
    Author: Gilli G, Donckerwolcke RA, Feldhoff C, De Santo NG, Callis L, Van Acker KI.
    Journal: Int J Pediatr Nephrol; 1987; 8(4):203-6. PubMed ID: 3449469.
    Abstract:
    Growth data in seven pairs of monozygotic twins only one twin affected by renal disease are given. The data suggest that renal disease not only retards normal growth and sexual maturation but also affects growth potential. Therefore evaluation of the effect of renal disease and its treatment on growth should include estimation of the genetic potential for growth.
