Twins
DNA Bioscience can determine the possibility of your twins being identical or fraternal.
Did you know that Twins are formed in the following way?:
- The developing embryo begins to split into identical twins but then stops part way leaving the partially separated egg to mature into a conjoined fetus.
- They are more often female than male (ratio of 3:1)
- They occur as often as once in every 40,000 births, but only once in every 200,000 live births.
- Are more likely to occur in Africa or India than in China or the United States.
- May be caused by genetic and environmental conditions which are responsible for the failure of twins to separate after the 13th day after fertilization.
- 1/50,000 to 1/100,000 are conjoined twins.
- 70% are female - even though monozygotic twins are more frequently male than female.
- 40% are stillborn
- 75% are stillborn or die within 24 hours.
If you would like to test if your twins are identical, please navigate to Twin Zygosity Testing.
