Effects of chorion type on variation in cord blood cholesterol of monozygotic twins.

Abstract

Cholesterol levels were measured in the cord blood of 30 pairs of monochorionic and 22 pairs of dichorionic monozygotic (MZ) twins. Cholesterol levels were found to be significantly higher in female twins when data was combined over chorion type. The type of chorionic development had no significant effect on variation among twin pairs. Chorion type did, however, have a significant effect on the within-pair variation. The variation within dichorionic pairs was more than five times that within monochorionic pairs (P less than .01). This result suggests that the variation in placentation has a significant effect on within-pair variation in serum cholesterol of newborn MZ twins.
