Abstract
- Down syndrome is a chromosome related desease that shows mental retardation, growth retardation and many other signs such as defects in the face, hands and skin. Down syndrome is very uncommon in dizygotic twins, especially in twins with different sex.

A 30 year old infertile woman who became pregnant via ICSI(intracytoplasmic sperm injection) has shown dizygotic twins with different sex to have Down syndrome and therefore it is being reported along with simple documents.
