OK, let' s get more serious. I am working on a case of monochorionic
twins with discordant gender, discordant karyotype on fibroblast culture
and mixed blood (both karyotypes - XX,XY) in both's blood lymphocytes at
birth - that is the evidence of a common placental circulation, the
evidence that the twins were monochorionic, besides sonographic evidence
of monochorionicity by a first trimeste scan. Such a case has been
published by Souter in the NEJM : Volume 349:154-158 July 10, 2003
Number 2

There must be an infinite range of variation in nature - just look in
the animal species. Ciao Wolfgang
