Abstract
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 report of a CCR in MZ twins. The relationship between this chromosome abnormality and MZ twinning is discussed.Entities:
