The Authors report on a pair of MZ twins, only one of which affected by the Duchenne-type myopathy. Monozygosity is supported by the success of a reciprocal skin-graft.

Various hypotheses are discussed, including that of a somatic mutation during the first division of the egge producing the twins.
