We evaluated urinary -core human chorionic gonadotropin ( -core hCG) in the detection of fetal Down's syndrome (DS) in the first trimester of pregnancy. Urine was collected prior to performing chorionic villous sampling (CVS) between 10 and 12 completed weeks from the last menstrual period. In the 9

To evaluate the potential utility of free beta (hCG) and beta-core (hCG) in a prenatal screening protocol for Down syndrome we analysed these markers in dried maternal urine specimens from 163 control, 13 Down syndrome and 5 trisomy 18 pregnancies from 8 to 25 weeks' gestation. All results are repor
There has been an increase in the use of fetal ultrasound in the first trimester over the last few years. This paper will review the published literature on first trimester ultrasound screening programmes for both aneuploidy and fetal structural abnormalities. 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
We have examined maternal urine concentrations of beta core, free beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), and total oestriol in 373 control pregnancies and 43 pregnancies affected by aneuploidy (including 22 cases of Down's syndrome) in an attempt to see if any of the analytes have a value in Down
Detecting first trimester fetuses with pan-body hydrops, giving the appearance of a 'space-suit,' is associated with a marked increased risk for chromosome abnormalities. In 30 consecutive fetuses prospectively characterized by space-suit hydrops, detected at or before 13.9 weeks' gestation, 26 (86.
