A case of monochorionic twin boys delivered at 34 weeks of gestation following induced ovulation with clomiphene is described. One twin was typed as blood group AB and the other as B. Flow cytometry showed blood group chimerism. DNA polymorphism analysis of peripheral lymphocytes and hair root cells showed that the chimerism was confined to the blood cells and they were dizygotic.
