I have friends who are twins, 21 years old, and one of them recently had an arteriovenous malformation successfully removed but it was rather serious and his neurosurgeon asked that the other twin have an MRI to determine if he has it too. Wondering what the chances are...
Thanks though, I appreciate the insight.

But after looking at the condition on Web MD, it looks like this is something that happens during the pregancy. Because identical twins have the same genetics, and are exposed to the exact same environment during gestation, I would say that if one gets it odds are both will have it.
Now, is your question based on knowing one has it, what are the odds of both ending up getting it? Or is it a simple question of what are the odds out of all identical twin births for this to happen? |
