Abstract
Eight-month-old male twins of Down's syndrome were found to have the aneuploid number of 47 chromosomes. The karyotype analysis revealed the presence of trisomy G. Detailed testing of blood groups were performed, all factors tested being found to be identical in twins. Analyses of the palm and sole prints of the twins were also compatible with their monozygosity.
