Abstract
Twins suffer a high risk of congenital malformations but the
data from our region is scanty. In this study, 133 twin pairs
(266 twin babies) were studied and a 3.4% incidence of
malformations was seen without gender preference. There
was no association of chorionicity and zygosity with the
risk for having congenital malformations
