In a study of 50 cases of trisomy 18 compared with 947 controls we have found the median multiple of the median (MoM) of maternal serum free human chorionic gonadotrophin to be significantly decreased (0.281 MoM) in samples collected between the 10th and 14th week of gestation. Similarly, maternal s
Recent developments in cytogenetics has shown that 22q11 microdeletion is related to a broad spectrum of malformations which are described under the acronym CATCH 22 (Cardiac, Abnormal faces, Thymic hypoplasia, Cleft palate, Hypocalcaemia and 22 chromosome deletion). We describe a case of a fetus wi
In a multicenter screening study for trisomy 21 involving ultrasonographic measurement of fetal nuchal translucency thickness (NT) at 10-14 weeks of gestation, 100,311 singleton pregnancies with a live fetus were examined. There were 46 cases of trisomy 13, and in 33 (72%) of these, the NT was above
In Sardinia, fetal karyotyping for couples at risk for -thalassaemia is offered only to women \_35 years and for specific risk of chromosomopathies. This policy is not easily accepted by the couples who insistently request additional karyotyping. In order to select those at highest risk of chromosom
