Discordant expression of the G syndrome in monozygotic twins.
We present clinical manifestations of monozygotic male twins with different degrees of expression of the G syndrome. Monozygosity was confirmed using DNA mini-satellite "fingerprint" analysis. The findings in these twins suggest that expression of the G syndrome can be strongly influenced by the prenatal developmental environment.
