In an electroencephalographic (EEG) study of 27 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) twins discordant for schizophrenia, 13 pairs of MZ twins concordant for schizophrenia, 40 pairs of healthy MZ twins, and 91 healthy, unrelated subjects with repeated assessments, we investigated (a) the trait quality of brainw
## Abstract Evidence from previous studies has suggested that the interβindividual differences in human brainβwave patterns (EEG) are predominantly determined by genetic factors. In particular, the withinβpair EEG concordance of monozygotic (mz) twins was found to be typically as high as rβ=β0.81 a
## Abstract Monochorionic twins were phenotypically discordant for Down syndrome. Chromosome analysis of lymphocytes showed both to be mosaics. Fibroblast chromosome analysis showed that one twin was 46,XY and the other 47,XY, +21. Blood mosaicism appears to have resulted from placental anastomoses
