The patients indicated that they felt their GPs had a pivotal role in informing them about all the possible complications of diabetes and that better collaboration between medical and dental healthcare providers could only be of benefit (box 3 5)).

Here, we discuss the benefits, challenges (Box 1) and limitations (Box 2) of epigenetic studies using disease-discordant monozygotic (MZ) twins (also called identical twins), and we review recent findings and their implications for medical research.
