What could have caused a foot deformity for me but not my identical twin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely epigenetic: This is unlikely to be due to genetic influences since you two are genetically identical. Possibilities causing the deformity include amniotic band syndrome or deformity due to fetal crowding.
