The NonInvasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) and Nuchal Translucency (NT) examination showed no detectable genetic abnormalities during pregnancy. However, the younger infant displayed growth retardation and feeding difficulties after birth, which was not observed in her twin sister. Further genetic counseling and diagnosis suggested that she is a Chimera with complex partial trisomy 21.
