In a pair of Japanese monozygotic twins, one manifested Klippel-Feil syndrome, a short neck with C(1-4) vertebra fusion, whereas the other was normal. The discordance between the twins suggests that Klippel-Feil syndrome results in part from a postzygotic somatic mutation or intrauterine environmental factors.
在一对日本同卵双胞胎中，其中一人表现出克利佩尔-费尔综合征，即颈部短且第1至4颈椎融合，而另一人则正常。双胞胎之间的不一致表明，克利佩尔-费尔综合征部分是由合子后体细胞突变或子宫内环境因素导致的。
