The relationships between DNA methylation levels and chorionicity in newborn twins

Monozygotic (MZ) twins are currently used in epigenetic studies as one homogenous group. However, there are two MZ twin types: dichorionic (DC) and monochorionic (MC). We hypothesize that DCMZ twins are more similar epigenetically, compared to MCMZ twins, due to earlier zygote splitting, a higher de...
