Previous collaborative studies have shown the substantial superimposability of electrophoretic patterns of non-Ig plasma proteins in twin pairs only if MZ. The above findings provide the basis for (a) twin pair zygosity determinations and (b) studies aimed at discriminating genetic and environmental factors in the alteration of protein patterns in various diseases (especially neoplastic). Such studies require adequate standardization of methods, and the present paper offers a substantial contribution to the standardization of pattern comparisons.
