Resumo

O método de gêmeos tem sido uma possibilidade de se investigar a gênese e o padrão de lateralização do sistema neuromotor, visto que, a comparação entre os gêmeos monozigóticos, considerados genetica­mente idênticos com os gêmeos dizigóticos que compartilham apenas 50% da carga genética, viabiliza a análise da magnitude da influência genética e ambiental. Objetivo. Delinear por meio de uma revisão de dados de estudos com gêmeos as principais teorias que procuram des­crever a organização motora subjacente a dominância manual tanto em destros quanto canhotos em gêmeos monozigóticos e dizigóticos. Método. Foi realizada uma extensa revisão de literatura focada na do­minância manual em gêmeos por meio de consulta em banco de dados das seguintes fontes: COMUTE/BIREME, LILACS, Science Direct, and Cochrane Cogprints. Resultados. Foram selecionados artigos publicados entre os anos de 1970 a 2009. Conclusão. Não há um consenso entre os cientistas sobre a divergência da dominância manual e a prevalência de assimetria do sistema neuromotor. Sem uma descri­ção compreensível e extensiva das expressões fenotípicas derivadas dos grupos, é muito difícil avaliar certas hipóteses alternativas referentes às possíveis variações no padrão de especializações neuromotoras em gêmeos.
