Current laboratory diagnosis for glycogen storage disease type la (GSD la) is established by functional enzyme assay to demonstrate the deficiency of glucosed-phosphate phosphatase (G6Pase). This procedure requires liver biopsy and is impractical for routine prenatal diagnosis owing to the high morb

## Abstract We report the prenatal sonographic diagnosis of hydrometrocolpos caused by an imperforate hymen in a Down syndrome fetus, with spontaneous evacuation on the third day of life. In this case, sonographic evaluation in the 37th week revealed a large retrovesical, sharply marginated, hetero
Mutational analysis of 30 recurrent known mutations detects only about 58% of Hispanic cystic fibrosis (CF) chromosomes. The low mutation detection rate has greatly hindered prenatal diagnosis and carrier testing of Hispanic families who have multiple affected children with unidentified cystic fibro
Hypochondroplasia (HCH) is caused by mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor type 3 (FGFR 3). Prenatal diagnosis of HCH based exclusively on the sonographic measurements of the fetal skeleton is difficult and has not been reported. We describe a newborn infant with HCH who was born to a m
