Cerebral cavernous malformations are focal vascular lesions of the brain, occurring sporadically or as an autosomal dominant familial form. The genetic background influences not only the clinical course but also patients' consultation and the indication to treat. We here present the rare case of monozygotic male twins of a polyzygotic triplet birth, carrying a CCM1 mutation, inherited from the mother. Both twins showed an identical site and size of a large frontobasal lesion. The genetic segregation and the clinical course in affected family members are presented and discussed.

Heteropaternal superfecundation frequently occurs in multiple-bearing mob-mated sheep.

Heteropaternal superfecundation may be defined as the fertilisation of two or more ova during the same oestrus cycle as a result of more than one coital act from different males; this results in foetuses being born in the same litter of the same age but different paternity. Heteropaternal superfecundation is more likely to occur in poly-ovulatory species like sheep; moreover, female sheep are often mob-mated with several rams concurrently, thus providing an opportunity for a given female to be served by multiple males during the same oestrus cycle. The objective of the present study was to determine the frequency of heteropaternal superfecundation in six sheep flocks where most of the ewes, lambs and rams were genotyped.

ANOVA designs for estimating heritabilities of fecundity traits in Hirudo medicinalis including batch size, the number of juveniles per cocoon, and juvenile weight. Accounting for reproduction mode of this species, different types of kinship were identified, which were taken into account in the ANOVA designs: juveniles from one batch and one cocoon were considered respectively full sibs and polyzygotic twins. Variation components were analyzed in the following kinship groups: for batch size, in full sibs; for the number of juveniles per cocoon, between sibships, full sins, and replicates; and for juvenile weight, in full sibs and polyzygotic twins.

Between-animal variability has frustrated many experimental studies in outbred animal models of human disease. Variability that arises from genetic heterozygosity can be minimized by use of experimental designs that match littermates (polyzygotic twins) across control and treatment groups. Poor breeding vigor has prevented use of this experimental design in the WHHL rabbit model of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.

Direct data to support this hypothesis suggest that male zygotes tend to be formed both early and late in the fertile period, and female zygotes in the middle. Criticisms of the direct data seem to be only that measurements of the timing of events around conception are inexact.
