[Interaction between the ABO and Rh-Hr blood group systems in pairs of monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins].
Previous studies have revealed significant deviations of twin pairs' blood group distributions. A comparison between monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) pairs in a sample of 688 twin pairs as to interaction between ABO and Rh indicates that the main contribution to total deviation comes from the MZ pairs, thus confirming a different behaviour of the two twin types in this respect.
