Abstract:
The maturation and development of 27 monozygotic and 23 dizygotic twins were studied over a 10 year period with data collected at one year intervals from age 9 to adulthood. In this manner the ossification process was recorded based on X-ray films of the carpal bones. Further information was acquired through anthropometric and somatoscopic data reproduced with standard photography. Sex and phase specific genetic factors influencing the maturation process are presented and analysed.
