Alkaptonuria is a rare inherited disease resulting from a genetic variant leading to homogentisic acid accumulation in body tissues, causing a broad spectrum of symptoms. Our case involves a Caucasian male diagnosed in his 70s, who shares a constellation of symptoms and the diagnosis with his monozygotic twin brother. The symptoms include early-onset arthropathy, tendinopathy, osteopenia, discolouration of the auricular regions and fingers, scleral discolouration, secondary glaucoma, proteinuria, calcification of the mitral valve and black urethral and prostate stones.

Transfer of in vitro-produced (IVP) equine embryos is associated with a higher incidence of monozygotic multiple pregnancies, but this remains a rarity. The outcome of monozygotic twin gestation is poor, and good management techniques are lacking. In addition, hydrops conditions are exceptional in horses, with hydroallantois occurring more frequently than hydramnion.

Article Synopsis
  • Vanishing Twin Syndrome (VTS) is when one fetus in a multiple pregnancy disappears, often discovered through ultrasounds, but its genetic causes are not well understood.
  • A case study of a 39-year-old woman who conceived twins via IVF showed that one twin's heartbeat stopped at 11 weeks, confirming VTS while the other developed normally.
  • Genetic testing revealed that both fetuses were identical twins with a normal genetic make-up, but the vanished twin exhibited a unique genetic pattern, demonstrating the potential for genetic investigation in cases of VTS.

Article Synopsis
  • * A 32-year-old woman undergoing assisted reproductive technology showed two embryos with regular heartbeats and tightly entangled umbilical cords at 8.5 weeks gestation, identified through various ultrasound techniques.
  • * The findings suggest that UCE can be diagnosed as early as eight weeks of gestation, but may indicate a poor prognosis for the pregnancy.
