lmer analysis of identical twins data

This is the correct approach, given this is a cotwin-control design. You might first check the magnitude of the twin intraclass correlation, but I think it very unlikely that you can ignore genetics and shared environment. How has zygosity been diagnosed? The model can be extended if you have dizygotic twins present as well.
