Acceptability of chorionic villi sampling for prenatal diagnosis

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1986
The factors that influence women in choosing between first-trimester chorionic villi sampling and second-trimester amniocentesis for prenatal diagnosis were investigated. Five hundred twenty women of advanced maternal age who had previously undergone prenatal diagnosis by amniocentesis and were delivered of a normal infant were requested to complete a ...

Chorionic villi sampling changes maternal serum alpha‐fetoprotein

Prenatal Diagnosis, 1986
AbstractSecond trimester amniocentesis has traditionally been utilized for prenatal genetic diagnosis. Chorionic villi sampling (CVS) is presently offered as an alternative. The occurrence of fetomaternal bleed (FMB) during CVS could increase the rate of post sampling abortion and, additionally, be of significance in patients at risk for ...

Identification of trophoblast in chorionic villi biopsy samples

Human Genetics, 1986
We have investigated a test for rapid discrimination between foetal and maternal origin of chorionic villi biopsy samples. A monoclonal antibody named H315 reacting against a specific antigen present on the surface of foetal trophoblastic cells, plus a double-colour staining technique (FITC + PI), have been used for the identification of foetal cells ...

Chorionic villi sampling: Laboratory experience with 4,000 consecutive cases

American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1994
AbstractExperience with 4,000 consecutive CVS cases shows that 1) the combination of both the direct and culture methods greatly reduces false diagnoses and maternal cell contamination; 2) the time interval between the sampling procedure and processing of villus specimens influences the quality of direct preparations; 3) maternal cell contamination ...

Prenatal diagnosis of genetic disease by chorionic villi sampling

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1986
Chorionic villi sampling at week 9–11 of gestation is increasingly applied as a new method in prenatal diagnosis of genetic disorders. Cytogenetical, biochemical or recombinant DNA methods have been used successfully in more than 6000 pregnancies at risk.

First trimester chorionic villi sampling and direct chromosome preparations

Clinical Genetics, 1986
Chorionic villi sampling was performed on 52 patients prior to elective termination of their pregnancies. Villi were obtained in 42, and direct chromosome preparations were successful in 41 of them. The use of a mixture of 0.075 M potassium chloride and 1% sodium citrate in the ratio of 2:1 for hypotonic treatment and 40% acetic acid for cell dispersal

The role of transvaginal sonography in chorionic villi sampling

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1990
AbstractVaginosonography has the potential of improving not only accurate diagnosis preceeding chorionic villus sampling but also the sampling procedure itself. The vaginosonographic diagnostic landmarks of early pregnancies are the contact area between the amnion and the chorion, the insertion of the umbilical cord, the yolk sac and the decidua ...

[Chorionic villi sampling. Amniocentesis. Cordocentesis].

Revue francaise de gynecologie et d'obstetrique, 1990
For early antenatal diagnosis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS) represents a valid alternative to early amniocentesis. It gives rapid results with minimal increase in risks (miscarriage about 1.5 p. cent). The indications of CVS are therefore likely to broaden. For late antenatal diagnosis, linked to an echographic or clinical anomaly, sampling of fetal
