Large Autosomal Copy-Number Differences within Unselected Monozygotic Twin Pairs are Rare.

Twin research and human genetics : the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies - 1 Feb 2015

Abstract excerpt

Monozygotic (MZ) twins form an important system for the study of biological plasticity in humans. While MZ twins are generally considered to be genetically identical, a number of studies have emerged that have demonstrated copy-number differences within a twin pair, particularly in those discordant for disease. The rate of autosomal copy-number variation (CNV) discordance within MZ twin pairs was investigated...
