commonly used to prove that genes play a big role in autism; twin case studies are always used. Fraternal dizygotic twins have 50% genetic similarity‚ whereas identical monozygotic twins have 100% genetic similarity. MZ twins were most likely to get autism. Riveo et al studied 40 twin pairs for autistic symptoms. 23 pairs were MZ - identical and 17 were DZ – non-identical. He then concluded his results to find that 22 out of the 23 MZ twins had a 96% concordance and the DZ had a 23% concordance. This

He then became an assistant to Dr. Otmar von Verschuer‚ famous for his research on twins. Mengele grew an interest in twins as well which led to many experiments being performed on twins during the Holocaust.
