I do not think you want to select those columns since they do not have  
the original data, but rather the markers you just created.

Assuming you want elements of twin.wide that meet both the conditions  
that a and b are within the range yu slected then try:

MZCCT <- subset(twin.wide, Zygosity=='MZ'& a & b)
# will select all column vales in the qualifying rows.
# add a select= parameter if you only want certain rows
