  • Title: Investigation of acephalus.
    Author: Deacon JS, Machin GA, Martin JM, Nicholson S, Nwankwo DC, Wintemute R.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet; 1980; 5(1):85-99. PubMed ID: 7190356.
    Abstract:
    We report twins, one of whom was diagnosed as grossly abnormal by ultrasound at 28 weeks' gestation. Postmortem angiographic investigation of this acardiac twin and of the inter-fetal placental anastomoses are reported. The acardiac fetus had a 45,X chromosome constitution, while the other twin had apparently normal chromosomes (46,XX). The association of chromosome anomaly with holoacardius acephalus is discussed.
