Abstract
Concordance rates in twins for anencephaly are apparently higher than can be explained by the high recurrence rates within sibships, and the hypothesized higher rate of anencephaly in MZ [monozygotic] paris. The evidence is stronger in the case of same-sexed pairs, but points in the same direction for opposite-sexed pairs.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
