Twins, immuno-incompatibility and pre-eclampsia
Abstract
A survey of 417 twin pregnancies is reported. Examination of the data revealed no difference in the incidence of pre-eclampsia referable to the zygosity of the twins. The findings thus lends no support to the hypothesis that immuno-incompatibility contributes to the aetiology of pre-eclampsia.
