Can anybody verify or give more information about this claim that was in the article?

  • "Additionally, there are different ways of calculating concordance (the presence of a similar disease phenotype in twins) which can give markedly different results."

Can anybody verify the prenatal imprinting argument? It seems like it would be easy to test by comparing trait concordance between non-identical twins reared apart with normal siblings reared apart. --Nectarflowed T 09:44, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] private language

Are there any studies about twin idioglossia, or secret language like Poto and Cabengo had? That seems like a good thing to include in the article Phoenix-forgotten 03:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

There was a programme aired here in the UK (can't remember if it was an Equinox or a Horizon one) relating to a social experiment that took place in the US re: Nature vs Nurture. A set of twins was split up and adopted by two different social sets of parents and I THINK (!!) nature won out. I might be wrong on this, though, as it was about 10 years ago.

Can anyone help me out with the title of this or where I might be able to buy/loan a copy?

Many thanks in advance!
