Similar to many scientific disciplines, twins present an unparalleled opportunity to study environmental and genetics influences. This has never been more true than epigenetic studies, which intertwine genetics and environment, that having monozygotic twins creates a strong methodological component to study design. This article review the methodology of using twins and demonstrates that the reduced genetic variation in study twins is so beneficial that smaller sample sizes of twins are still much more informative than other research studies with larger participation.
