Discordant Growth of Monozygotic Twins Starts at the Blastocyst Stage: A Case Study
12 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
Discordant growth is a common complication of monochorionic/diamniotic pregnancies; in approximately 50% of cases, the cause is unknown. The case presented here suggests that discordant growth of monozygotic twins could start during preimplantation development.
