Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This paper suggests that during the time of the "splitting process" that produces monozygotic twins the number of cells may not be evenly distributed to the future twins. The outcome of this 'irregular division' may be the twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome and acardiac twins.
