Waardenburg's syndrome involves deafness accompanied by various visual difficulties. The role of twins in identifying this disorder and advancing understanding of its origins and symptoms is described, beginning in 1916 and continuing to the present. This overview is followed by current research on monozygotic (MZ) twins' different dermatoglyphic features, twins with sagittal suture crainosynostosis, blood pressure in female twins, and MZ twins' education and political knowledge. The final section presents media reports describing controversies surrounding twins created by reciprocal in vitro fertilization, reared-apart triplets' limited TV series, abducted twin infants, the Winkelvoss twins' charges by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and going from 'Me' to 'We'.
瓦登伯革氏综合征涉及耳聋伴发各种视觉障碍。从 1916 年至今,双胞胎在识别这种疾病以及深入了解其起源和症状方面的作用一直受到关注。本文首先概述了这方面的研究进展,然后介绍了目前关于同卵(MZ)双胞胎不同皮纹特征、矢状缝颅缝早闭双胞胎、女性双胞胎血压以及 MZ 双胞胎教育和政治知识的研究。最后一部分介绍了媒体报道,描述了通过体外受精形成的同卵双胞胎、分开抚养的三胞胎的有限电视剧、被绑架的双胞胎婴儿、Winkelvoss 双胞胎被证券交易委员会指控以及从“我”到“我们”的转变等争议。
