What the article says is the they DO have identical DNA, but that changes can develop soon after fertilization. Another case of the headline being written by an brain-deficient moron.

No, check the link in comment# 1 and the keywords copynumbervariation, copynumbervariations and cnv. In the case of twins, copy-number variation means that the twins can have zero to multiple copies of the same gene.
