Low PAPP-A Levels and Growth in Twin Pregnancies
Low PAPP-A levels were associated with BW ≤ 10th centile in one and both twins and its significant value as a risk marker was demonstrated. Higher PAPP-A MoM halves the risk of having at least one twin with low BW. Other maternal biophysical and biochemical indices did not seem to be predictive of low birthweight.
