st: Twin data: descriptive statistics with robust standard deviation

Dear all,
I am working with twin data. I want to estimate simple descriptive
statistics such as mean/stand deviation but i would like to use robust
standard errors.
Researcher report in publications: that they used robust statistics
taking dependence of twin data into account when calculating the
mean/SD of their variables.
Normally I would simple use the command summarize. I could not find a
suitable option with "summarize". I know the options cluster and
robust with regressions.
Does anybody know how to calculate this? Has a suggestion?
Thank you very much.
Esther
