Abstract
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has now become a cornerstone of treatment for involuntary infertility. Recent studies have raised concern regarding potential associations between ART and chromosomal aneuploidy, imprinting anomalies, and monochorionic placentation in dizygotic (DZ) twins. We report a case of DZ twins conceived by ART in which all three problems coexist.
