This report records the first documented instance of a birth in which twins, genetically unrelated to each other, were born to a mother genetically unrelated to either of them. After an extensive history of infertility with multiple unsuccessful treatments, a 42-year-old woman gave birth to healthy twins following transfer of three embryos from two different donor sources. DNA testing confirmed that the twins represented both sources. This report adds to the growing body of literature documenting the successes of embryo donation to other couples, and supports the option of embryo mixing for those couples who wish to consider it.
一位与双胞胎无遗传关系的母亲生下了一对彼此也无遗传关系的双胞胎。经过长期不孕且多次治疗失败后，一名42岁的女性在移植了来自两个不同供体的三个胚胎后，生下了健康的双胞胎。DNA检测证实这对双胞胎代表了两个供体来源。本报告为记录胚胎捐赠给其他夫妇成功案例的不断增加的文献增添了内容，并支持那些希望考虑胚胎混合的夫妇选择这一做法。
