Bilateral renal agenesis in twins.
We present the second report of like-sex twins concordantly affected with bilateral renal agenesis (BRA). Mode of inheritance is proposed to be autosomal dominant. Screening of first-degree relatives of the BRA proband by ultrasound of the GU system is recommended. Prenatal diagnosis with second-trimester ultrasound screening is recommended when a previous fetus has been affected by bilateral renal agenesis.
