Cytogenetic analysis of 1375 amniotic fluid specimens from pregnancies with gestational age less than 14 weeks.

abstract：:Twin pregnancy has a disproportionate effect on perinatal mortality, being six times higher than for singleton gestations. The major threats to perinatal survival are from two very different pathological processes: spontaneous preterm delivery, and the interlacing clinical complications of monochorionicity. With the r...
