The authors describe a pair of white 7-year-old monozygotic twin girls with the same anomaly of the pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ), in whom the clinical presentation and disease evolution are slightly divergent. The pathogenesis and genetic control of the disease are discussed. J Pediatr Surg 37...
