Early amniocentesis at 11–14 weeks' gestation for the diagnosis of fetal chromosomal abnormality—a clinical evaluation

Early arnniocentesis between 11 and 14 weeks' gestation was offered to 110 women at risk of a chromosomally abnormal fetus due to maternal age. Four were found to be unsuitable for the procedure, and 106 early amniocenteses were performed. In 102 cases, clear amniotic fluid was obtained with a single tap. There were two dry taps and two bloodstained tapis; sampling was repeated in three of these cases before 15 weeks. In the fourth case, placental biopsy was performed at 16 weeks. Thus, we were able to obtain a satisfactory sample in all but three cases(2.8 percent). Karyotyping of cells harvested from the early amniotic fluid samples was successful in all the 105 cases. Cell culture from the initial samples revealed a normal karyotype in 99 cases, two balanced translocations, two tetraploid karyotypes, and two cases of pseudomosaicism. Of the 105 pregnancies successfully sampled, there have been two losses to date (1–8 per cent). Two further patients presented with premature rupture of membranes, both pregnancies having successful outcomes. Sixty-two babies have delivered to date, with four congenital anomalies. There were no respiratory problems. Twenty-nine pregnancies are continuing without known complications, and details are not yet available on the remaining 12. The results indicate that early arnniocentesis may replace the traditional test at 15–17 weeks.     

Preimplantation diagnosis: A patient perspective

A new dimension in the prevention of birth defects will be achieved when genetic diseases can be routinely diagnosed in embryos prior to implantation. The impressions and attitudes towards preimplantation diagnosis were studied in prospective patients, women at high reproductive risk for a genetic disease. Their perspective highlighted not only the advantages and disadvantages of this new approach, but also those changes necessary in order for preimplantation diagnosis to become a useful and practical technique. The data presented are based on information obtained by a mailed questionnaire answered by 58 women. The main benefit of preimplantation diagnosis for these high-risk women would be the ability to undertake a pregnancy without having to be subjected to the physical and/or emotional trauma of elective termination. Their major concerns related to possible damage to the embryo following biopsy, the cost of the procedure, and the low success rate of completed pregnancies. Other issues to be addressed before preimplantation diagnosis could begin to compare favourably with existing forms of prenatal testing were that the methods of obtaining oocytes or embryos should be simple, well tolerated, highly efficient, and low in maternal risk, and that the genetic analysis of embryonic or extraembryonic cells should be unequivocally accurate.
