Magnetic resonance imaging studies in multiple sclerosis twins.
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging examinations were performed on a series of seven sets of twins (four monozygotic and three dizygotic) and one set of triplets who were clinically discordant for multiple sclerosis (MS). MR abnormalities were detected in some of the unaffected monozygotic pairs of twins.
