Twin zygosity. Automated determination with microsatellites.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Twin zygosity determinations can be performed with anthropologic, serologic and genetic markers; however, these methods are more than occasionally inefficient, often expensive and sometimes inaccurate. We used microsatellites as DNA markers and developed a largely automated, rapid and efficient method of determining zygosity. STUDY DESIGN: We used five highly polymorphic short tandem repeat loci,...
