Rare spontaneous monochorionic dizygotic twins: a case report and a systematic review [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2022 Background Monochorionic dizygotic twins are a rare condition, mostly related to assisted reproductive technology. This type of twinning is burdened by the same risk of pregnancy complications found in monochorionic monozygotic pregnancies.

Confined Blood Chimerism in Monochorionic Dizygotic Twins Conceived Spontaneously
AJP Reports, 2013 Traditionally, monochorionicity has been regarded as synonymous with monozygosity. However, several recent cases of monochorionic dizygotic twins have shown that monochorionic twins can be dizygous.

Human Reproduction Update, 2007 The tendency to conceive spontaneous dizygotic (DZ) twins is a complex trait with important contributions from both environmental factors and genetic disposition. Twins are relatively common and occur on average 13 times per 1000 maternities, though the twinning frequency varies over time and geographic location.
