I came across the following statistic just now:
18% to 22% of twins are left-handed
fewer than 10% of non-twins are left-handed
I'm wondering why that would be, now.
Does anyone have statistics of the handedness of children born prematurely
vs. children born at full term? Twins are more likely to be born
prematurely than the general population.

Not on the precise question you asked, but something which came out in the
news today concerning twins which might be of interest if you haven't seen it:
