Prenatal Diagnosis of Sandhoff Disease by Enzyme Analysis of Chorionic Villus Sample
OBJECTIVE AND STUDY DESIGN: The prenatal diagnosis of Sandhoff disease (SD) was performed in 14 fetuses of families by the analysis of chorionic villus sample obtained at 11-14 weeks of gestation. The diagnosis was based on the absence or near-absence of
