We evaluated demographic factors and factors specific to the current pregnancy, and their relationship to the decision to continue or terminate a pregnancy after prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. All cases of Down syndrome (DS) managed at a tertiary care center from 1989-1997 were retrospectively

The molecular basis of the myotonic dystrophy (MD) kinase gene is expansion of the CTG repeat at the 3-untranslated region of the MD gene. Variability of the CTG repeat size in different tissues of affected individuals has been demonstrated. The objective of this report was to examine and review the
We report on the prenatal diagnosis of a fetus with 46,XY and 46,XX cell lines with a normal male phenotype. Cytogenetic and molecular studies ruled out the possibility of maternal cell contamination and showed that all the X chromosomes present in both fetal cell lines were derived from a single ma
An apparently unbalanced karyotype containing an abnormal chromosome 11 was identified in a 16-week female fetus by analysis of cultured amniocytes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a chromosome 11 paint identified the presence of an insertion in band 11q24. Parental karyotyping docume
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
