High impact information on Twinning, Monozygotic

CONCLUSION(S): Several processes have been suggested to explain the increase in monozygotic twinning after IVF [1].
Association with monozygotic twinning and with parental cocaine use may point to additional mechanistic clues for future research [2].
The occurrence of monozygotic twinning was supported by the observed sharing of a single and common placenta and by ABO and HLA identity of peripheral blood erythrocytes and leukocytes [3].
Comments on discordant monozygotic twinning in homosexuality [4].
It has been proposed that anterior midline ventral wall defects may be caused by either monozygotic twinning or vascular dysplasia [5].

Biological context of Twinning, Monozygotic

The early sonography follow-up of IVF pregnancy would be of value because of the reported higher incidence of pathological pregnancies and especially monozygotic twinning [6].

Gene context of Twinning, Monozygotic

Fetal abnormality (Goldenhar syndrome) occurring in one of triplet infants derived from in vitro fertilization with possible monozygotic twinning [7].
