Monochorionic twins discordant for trisomy 13: A case report, systematic literature search and synthesis of available evidence [PDF]

Clinical Case Reports, 2020
This article presents the tenth reported case of monochorionic twins discordant for trisomy 13. Discordant aneuploidies in monochorionic twins are rare. Aetiologies include mitotic error in early cell division and “rescue” chromosome loss in an initially

Intrauterine transfusion in monochorionic twins with parvovirus B19 infection: Evidence of intertwin blood exchange. [PDF]

Pregnancy (Hoboken)
Abstract Background Parvovirus B19 infection can cause severe fetal anemia. Management in monochorionic twin pregnancies is challenging due to placental vascular connections. Case We report a case of severe fetal anemia in both fetuses of a monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy following maternal parvovirus B19 infection.

Intertwin discordance of aldosterone levels in amniotic fluid with placental anastomoses in monochorionic twins: Insight into the pathophysiology of twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome [PDF]

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica
Introduction Our objective was to investigate the association between the presence of placental anastomoses and intertwin differences in renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone activation in monochorionic twins using amniotic fluid aldosterone (AF‐ALD) levels.

Discordant congenital heart defects in monochorionic twins: Risk factors and proposed pathophysiology. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2021
A six-fold increase in congenital heart defects (CHD) exists among monochorionic (MC) twins compared to singleton or dichorionic twin pregnancies. Though MC twins share an identical genotype, discordant phenotypes related to CHD and other malformations ...
