Genetic, environmental and stochastic factors in monozygotic twin discordance with a focus on epigenetic differences
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Genetic-epidemiological studies on monozygotic (MZ) twins have been used for decades to tease out the relative contributions of genes and the environment to a trait. Phenotypic discordance in MZ twins has traditionally been ascribed to non-shared environmental fa...
