Twin studies are commonly used to investigate the contribution of genetic factors to bipolar disorder. This involves looking at the similarities and differences in the occurrence of the disorder in identical (monozygotic) twins, who share 100% of their genetic material, and fraternal (dizygotic) twins, who share 50% of their genetic material. If there is a higher concordance rate (the likelihood that both twins have the disorder) among identical twins, it suggests a genetic component to the disorder.
