Monochorionic twins are monozygotic (identical) twins that share the same placenta. If the placenta is shared by more than two twins (see multiple birth ), these are monochorionic multiples . Monochorionic twins occur in 0.3% of all pregnancies. [ 1 ]
Monoamniotic twins are identical or semi-identical twins that share the same amniotic sac within their mother's uterus. [1] Monoamniotic twins are always monochorionic and are usually termed Monoamniotic-Monochorionic ("MoMo" or "Mono Mono") twins. [1] [2] They share the placenta, but have two separate umbilical cords.
The human twin birth rate in the United States rose 76% from 1980 through 2009, from 9.4 to 16.7 twin sets (18.8 to 33.3 twins) per 1,000 births. [5] The Yoruba people have the highest rate of twinning in the world, at 45–50 twin sets (90–100 twins) per 1,000 live births, [6] [7] [8] possibly because of high consumption of a specific type of yam containing a natural phytoestrogen which may ...
A rare set of "MoMo" (also called 'mono mono') twins were born in Tulsa. That's the short, cute term for "monoamniotic" twins, which means the two babies shared the same placenta and amniotic sac ...

An unbelievable story - an Akron, Ohio, hospital welcomed a second set of extremely rare bundles of joy this week. ABC reports: "Just days after these rare mono mono twin girls were born holding ...
This causes the set of twins to have genetic variations, so their genetic information is unique from one another. In studies conducted between 1924 and 1976, there were more left-handed monozygotic twins. Specifically, 15% of monozygotic twins were left-handed while 13% of dizygotic twins were left-handed. [5]
