Trisomy 13 in monozygotic twins discordant for major congenital anomalies.
The occurrence of trisomy 13 in twins is very rare. We report a pair of genotypically identical twins with trisomy 13 discordant for major anomalies. This case contributes to the already published data on the contribution of non-genetic factors to the aetiology of congenital malformations in monozygotic twins.
متن کاملCardiac morbidity in monochorionic twins
Twin pregnancies are at increased risk of complications and adverse outcome compared to singletons. A significant contribution to higher morbidity and mortality seen in monochorionic twins is made by cardiac complications. Abnormal cardiac development in monochorionic pregnancies can be divided into primary structural cardiac lesions (structural cardiac anomalies unrelated to the existence of T...
متن کاملDown syndrome in monochorionic twins
Down syndrome in monochorionic twins has rarely been reported. We report such a case diagnosed prenatally. Maternal serum screening was performed at 15 weeks for a twin pregnancy which indicated a risk of greater than 1:50 for Down syndrome. The review of early ultrasonography confirmed monochorionic twins. Amniocentesis at 17 weeks’ gestation was performed on one of the twin sacs, which confir...
متن کاملNeonatal morbidity in growth-discordant monochorionic twins: comparison between the larger and the smaller twin.
Fetal growth restriction in singletons has been shown to enhance fetal lung maturation and reduce the risk of respiratory distress syndrome due to increased endogenous steroid production. However, data on lung maturation in growth-discordant monochorionic (thus, identical) twins are lacking. Our objective was to compare the risk of severe neonatal morbidity between the larger and the smaller tw...
متن کاملMonochorionic twins discordant for congenital heart disease: a referral center's experience and possible pathophysiologic mechanisms.
OBJECTIVE To describe the spectrum of cardiac defects in monochorionic (MC) twins discordant for congenital heart disease (CHD) in a referral center population. METHOD Retrospective study of all twin gestations undergoing echocardiography between 2000 and 2009 at our institution. RESULTS A total of 356 twin pairs were evaluated during the study period, 202 for suspected twin-twin transfusio...
