Human heredity, 1984•karger.comA pair of chimeric twins, TS (♂) and MR (♀), were examined. The amounts of 'foreign'blood
cells in each twin found on three occasions were compared. The percentages of MR cells
found in the blood of TS in 1977 and in 1982 were similar and about 1/5 of that found in
1970. The amount of TS-blood cells found in MR was declining slowly from about 31% in
1970 to about 25% in 1982.

Abstract
A pair of chimeric twins, T.S. (♂) and M.R. (♀), were examined. The amounts of ‘foreign’ blood cells in each twin found on three occasions were compared. The percentages of M.R. cells found in the blood of T.S. in 1977 and in 1982 were similar and about 1/5 of that found in 1970. The amount of T.S.-blood cells found in M.R. was declining slowly from about 31 % in 1970 to about 25% in 1982.
