Posterior urethral valves and mirror image anomalies in monozygotic twins

Am J Med Genet. 2002 Aug 1;111(2):210-2. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.10563.

Abstract

Monozygotic (MZ) twins with both posterior urethral valves (PUV) and additional mirror image malformations are described. This association suggests that an early embryonic event may lead to MZ twinning, PUV, and mirror image anomalies.
