Recent reports suggest an increased incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in pregnancies with amniotic fluid-cell culture failure. We retrospectively reviewed the cytogenetic results of 14,165 amniotic fluid samples processed in our laboratory from 1987 to 1996. Ninety-eight per cent of the samples

Continuous fermentations were carried out with a recombinant flocculent Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain in an airlift bioreactor. Once operating under steady state at a dilution rate of 0.45 h -1 , the bioreactor was contaminated with Escherichia coli cells. The faster growing E. coli strain was was
Three new cases of true mosaic trisomy 17 (MT17) were diagnosed in amniotic fluid cells. Postnatal chromosome analysis from lymphocytes did not confirm the trisomic cell line, and follow-up studies showed normal psycho-motor development of the children, in one case up to the age of 4Β½ years. We sugg
reason that a cytogenetic study was performed in the present case. The finding of an, apparently, non-mosaic 90,XX karyotype was surprising, given its rarity. This chromosomal constitution had to be the product of two errors: one prezygotic originating a 45,X zygote and then an endoreduplication of
True chromosomal mosaicism of double trisomy (48,XX,+7,+20) was detected in amniotic fluid cell cultures at 16 and 20 weeks of gestation. No aneuploid cells were found in chorionic villus samples (CVS) by semidirect preparation and long-term culture. High-level ultrasound did not indicate any struct
