Genetic or epigenetic difference causing discordance between monozygotic twins as a clue to molecular basis of mental disorders.

Abstract excerpt

Classical twin research focused on differentiating genetic factors from environmental factors by comparing the concordance rate between monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic twins. On the other hand, recent twin research tries to identify genetic or epigenetic differences between MZ twins discordant for mental disorders. There are a number of reports of MZ twins discordant for genetic disorders caused by genetic or...
