Monozygotic (MZ) twins with both posterior urethral valves (PUV) and additional mirror image malformations are described. This association suggests that an early embryonic event may lead to MZ twinning, PUV, and mirror image anomalies.
A de novo and apparently balanced complex chromosome rearrangement (CCR) was found in monozygotic (MZ) twin infants with multiple congenital anomalies. The rearrangement involved 4 chromosomes with 6 breakpoints including 2p23, 2q13, 2q21.1, 3p23, 11q13.1, and 12q24.1. This seems to be the first rep
