Abstract
SummaryTo our knowledge, this is the first reported case of esophageal atresia occurring in both members of a pair of twins. These twins appear to be genetically identical because of their general appearance, sex, identical anomaly, and identical serologic genotypes. Genetic predisposition for esophageal atresia in twins would seem to be possible from this study. Heretofore, it has been thought that esophageal atresia in one of identical twins has been a developmental defect rather than a genetically transmitted one. Staged therapy for the premature infant with esophageal atresia increases the chance of survival of these infants.
