The effect of zygosity on the birth weight of twins in Aberdeen and northeast Scotland.

Corney G, Thompson B, Campbell DM, MacGillivray I, Seedburgh D, Timlin D.

Abstract

Birth weight data for 356 pairs of newborn twins of known zygosity and placentation are presented. The combined weights of dizygotic twins are heavier than those of monozygotic twins. The significance of this finding is discussed in relation to the association between increased maternal height and dizygotic twinning.
