Abstract
The frequency of twinning among newborns with Down's syndrome (2,11+/-0,6%)was significantly higher than in the general populaltion (0,73+/-0,3%). The increase in the rate of multiple births of children with trisomy-21 occurred due to almost three-fold excess in the frequency of dizygotic (discordant) twin pairs over the expected level. The increase in the frequency of dizygotic twins with Down's syndrome was explained by the combined effect of two independent factors: the increase in probability of dizgotic twins natality and the enhanced rate of children birth with trisomy-21, which depended on the increase in mother's age.
