Twin mystery: why does cancer strike one and spare the other?
NCT ID NCT06054295
Summary
This study aims to understand why one twin develops a childhood brain tumor while their identical twin does not. Researchers will collect blood and saliva samples from 25 pairs of identical twins in this situation. They will look for tiny genetic differences that might explain why cancer developed in only one twin.
