Abstract
Erythrocyte count, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume and reticulocyte counts were measured in 59 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) and 69 pairs of dizygotic (DZ) adult, Caucasian male twins. The means of MZ and DZ twins were not significantly different for any of the traits measured. Erythrocyte count and mean corpuscular volume had significant estimates of genetic variance (P < 0.05).Keywords
