Monozygotic twins clonus

[stinger22]

Hello, we have 8 week old monozygotic, male twins, born by C-section at 37 weeks -  both present ankle clonus. My wife is a neuro physio and had checked them based on her overly maternal worry checking. Both twins have ankle clonus of around 4-6 beats in both legs, although this can be as little as 2-3 beats and the clonus does not appear after we have tested the ankle once or twice but returns when checked later.

There is no history of cerebal palsy in any of our families but we have become worried by the facts that monozygotic twins are more at risk of CB. Could anyone provide some advice please?

The main thing we can't establish is whether CB would normally present in both twins through clonus - you read it normally presents in one of the twins, and whether the fact they are monozygotic and CB being non genetic means it is unlikely to be CB and more likely to be an immature nervous system.

Many thanks in advance.
