A monozygotic mirror-image twin pair with discordant psychiatric illnesses: a neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental evaluation

The authors describe a pair of monozygotic mirror- image twins with discordant diagnoses, schizophrenia in one twin and bipolar or schizoaffective disorder in the other.
