"Twin Studies as Topic" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus,
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure,
which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
Works about methods of detecting genetic etiology in human traits. The basic premise of twin studies is that monozygotic twins carry identical genes, while zygotic twins are genetically no more similar than two siblings born after separate pregnancies.
