  • Title: Twinning is associated with an increased risk of left-handedness and inverted writing hand posture.
    Author: Coren S.
    Journal: Early Hum Dev; 1994 Dec 16; 40(1):23-7. PubMed ID: 7712958.
    Abstract:
    Left-handedness and inverted handwriting postures are more frequent among birth-stressed individuals. Because twinning is also associated with increased birth risk, 298 twins were compared to 1192 age and sex matched singletons. Both left-handedness and inversion were significantly more common in twins, although other indexes of laterality were not affected.
