Origin of teratomas and twins

Origin of teratomas and twins

S Shahar et al. Hum Genet. 1986 Nov.

Abstract

Probabilities are given for three modes of origins of teratomas and for five possible modes of origins of twins. Besides testing for monoluteal dispermic twins, these probabilities enable centromere mapping. Trisomy and triploidy arising through nondisjunction give the same information.
