Prenatal diagnosis. A 35 amniocentesis study (author's transl)

The results of 35 amniocentesis, between 13 and 17 weeks of pregnancy are presented. Cytogenetic study was performed in 28 of them. Chromosomic anomalies were detected in 3 cases: A 21-trisomy, a 14/21 translocation with 21-trisomy and a partial trisomy of chromosome 2. The values of alpha-feto prot...

Summary:The results of 35 amniocentesis, between 13 and 17 weeks of pregnancy are presented. Cytogenetic study was performed in 28 of them. Chromosomic anomalies were detected in 3 cases: A 21-trisomy, a 14/21 translocation with 21-trisomy and a partial trisomy of chromosome 2. The values of alpha-feto protein were measured in 10 cases, and were in normal range. Amniocentesis indications in the early detection of chromosomic anomalis in high risk couples and the interest of alpha-feto protein detection in the prediction of neural-tube defects, are commented.
