Starkie, C. M. and Crawford, J. Selwyn (Birmingham Maternity Hospital, Birmingham). Twins, immuno‐incompatibility and pre‐eclampsia. Int J Gynaecol Obstet 14: 559–560, 1976. A survey of 417 twin pregnancies is reported. Examination of the data revealed no difference in the incidence of pre‐eclampsia referable to the zygosity of the twins. The findings thus lends no support to the hypothesis that immuno‐incompatibility contributes to the aetiology of pre‐eclampsia.
