CMA and Trio\u2010ES provided incremental diagnostic yields of 0.6% (1\/160) and 7.1% (3\/42), respectively. BWS was confirmed in two fetuses presenting with exomphalos. Abnormal genetic results were detected in only one fetus in 13 cases, including 11 with aneuploidy and two with BWS. Genetic disorders were identified in both fetuses in seven cases, including three with aneuploidy, one with a pathologic copy number variant, and three with causative variants. Discordant genetic results between the twins were observed in 8.8% (15\/170) of the cases. Hydrops fetalis and multisystem anomalies were correlated with a higher incidence of genetic disorders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Invasive diagnostic testing should be considered for both twins when one fetus in an MCDA pregnancy presents with structural anomalies.
