Zygosity was determined in 183 pairs of twins living in Aberdeen City, Scotland, by blood group studies, general appearance and fingerprints. The usefulness of simple methods of fingerprint analysis to determine zygosity was examined and it was found that comparisons using ridge counts were more efficient than those of pattern types
