On the Probability of Dizygotic Twins Being Concordant for Two Alleles at Multiple Polymorphic Loci

2006-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Accurate determination of same-sex twin zygosity is important for medical, scientific and personal reasons. Determination may be based upon questionnaire data, blood group, enzyme isoforms and fetal membrane examination, but assignment of zygosity must ultimately be confirmed by genotypic data. Here methods are reviewed for calculating average probabilities of correctly concluding a twin pair is monozygot...
