Association of handedness and birth order in monozygotic twins.

J C Christian, D S Hunter, M M Evans, F M Standeford.   

Abstract

In a random sample of 104 pairs of middle-class Caucasian, handedness-discordant twins six years of age or older, a significant relationship has been found between birth order and handedness in monozygotic twins, there being an excess of left-handed among first-born twins (P less than 0.01). No such relation has been found in dizygotic twins.
