The team of researchers compared 19 pairs of identical twins and found that Copy Number Variations in all the twins were distinguishable. However, the technique for distinguishing between identical twin DNA is not yet ready for the courtroom in the United States or in France. No one has presented it in a forensic case because scientific expertise is only acceptable if the technique it relies on has been tested, subjected to peer review, has a known error rate and is widely accepted in the scientific community. Thus, for now, it is likely that having a twin can be an easy way out for suspects.
