Abstract

Screening for aneuploidy in twins and higher-order multiples present complex practical and ethical issues that limit its provision to women. We review the currently available screening options and compare the merits and disadvantages of each method. The available diagnostic tests and therapeutic interventions for screen positive cases are also reviewed.
