For the elucidation of the question of the significance of hereditary influences in the onset and course of tuberculosis, research on twins affords a unique opportunity of observing persons with identically the same hereditary predisposition; namely, in enzygotic twins, and to compare their behavior with biovular twins with like hereditary qualities. Von Verschuer collected seventy-five pairs of tuberculous twins, nineteen of whom were uniovular, thirtyeight biovular of the same sex, and eighteen biovular of different sex.
