Whole-genome sequences reveal zygotic composition in chimeric twins

2023-12-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> The monochorionic placenta in dizygotic twins allows in utero exchange of embryonic cells, resulting in chimerism in the twins. In practice, this chimerism is incidentally identified on mixed ABO blood types or in the presence of cells with a discordant sex chromosome. Here, we applied whole-genome sequencing to one triplet and one twin families to precisely understand their zygotic compositions...
