The documentation surrounding twin to twin transfusion syndrome is limited due to its rarity and the challenges in conducting systematic clinical studies. As TTTS affects a relatively small number of pregnancies, comprehensive data collection and clinical characterization have been difficult. This is compounded by the complexity of the condition, which can vary significantly between cases.
To navigate twin to twin transfusion syndrome, consider consulting a maternal-fetal medicine specialist who has experience with high-risk pregnancies and TTTS. Resources such as the Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome Foundation (https://tttsfoundation.org) and Stichting TAPS Support (https://tapssupport.com) can provide valuable support and information. Additionally, participating in a patient registry or natural history study may help contribute to the understanding of TTTS. While genetic counseling is not currently indicated due to the absence of identified genetic factors, staying informed about ongoing research is crucial.
There are currently 7 active clinical trials exploring various aspects of twin to twin transfusion syndrome. These trials aim to improve understanding and treatment options for TTTS. You can find more information about these studies on ClinicalTrials.gov by searching for twin to twin transfusion syndrome.
