Abstract

An excess of structural defects occurs in monozygotic twins compared in dizygotic twins or singletons. The excess is composed of three categories of defects. The first includes defects which are part of the MZ twinning, such as conjoined twins and some amorphous twins. In addition, all early embryonic malformations and malformation complexes such as sirenomelia mc. holoprosencephaly mc. and anencephaly mc are increased in MZ twins. The reason for this association is considered to be the common etiology for both the MZ twinning and the
