A case of aplasia cutis congenita in dizygotic twins

R P Lemke et al. J Perinatol. 1993 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

We report a newborn infant with extensive aplasia cutis congenita of the flanks and thighs, associated with a co-twin fetus papyraceus. DNA restriction fragment polymorphism analysis of the twins proved dizygosity. The association of these two conditions in twins is reviewed.
