Case Report: Identification of Germline Chimerism in Monochorionic Dizygotic Twins
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Monochorionic twins are generally considered to be monozygotic, as monochorionic dizygotic (MCDZ) twins are extremely rare in natural pregnancies. Several studies have reported this rare occurrence, and most of these pregnancies have been conceived by ...

A genome wide linkage scan for dizygotic twinning in 525 families of mothers of dizygotic twins [PDF]
Human Reproduction, 2010 The tendency to conceive dizygotic (DZ) twins is a complex trait influenced by genetic and environmental factors. To search for new candidate loci for twinning, we conducted a genome-wide linkage scan in 525 families using microsatellite and single nucleotide polymorphism marker panels.Non-parametric linkage analyses, including 523 families containing ...
