    Abstract:
    We describe a pair of twins, whose mother was being treated by oral anticoagulant drugs, as a result of having received mitral heart valve implantation in the past. The male twins monochorionic, monoamniotic--but one infant showed the features of fetal warfarin syndrome. In the study we discussed the pharmacogentetics and individual variation in the human metabolism during treatment with warfarin-perinatal growth and prevalence of congenital malformations. We analysed the threats to the fetus and mother, connected with administration of anticoagulant drugs.
