One might expect the physical dissimilarity between dizygotic twins to become more obvious as they grow up. If so, the accuracy of classification is likely to improve with increasing age of the participants. A few studies have reported on this issue by evaluating the precision of zygosity diagnosis between samples varying in age, 8,19,23 and by test--retest estimatio
