Second-trimester markers of fetal size in schizophrenia: a study of monozygotic twins.

The American journal of psychiatry - 1 Oct 1992

Bracha H S, Torrey E F, Gottesman I I, Bigelow L B, Cunniff C

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Since the second prenatal trimester is the critical period of massive neural cell migration to the cortex, and fingertip dermal cells migrate to form ridges during this same period, the authors sought to determine whether there are differences in fingertip ridge count in pairs of monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia, possibly indicating that a prenatal anatomical insult affected the twins...
