Abstract excerpt
Monozygotic (MZ) twins originate from a single fertilized egg, making them genetically identical at the time of conception. However, postzygotic somatic mutations (PZMs) can introduce genetic differences after separation. Although whole-genome sequencing (WGS) sheds light on somatic mutations in cancer genomics, its application in genomic studies of MZ twins remains limited. In this study, we investigate PZMs in...
