The authors report a family in which several individuals were born with various anomalies of the face and brain. An analysis of the pedigree supports the hypothesis that a single gene defect with variable expressivity and reduced penetrance is responsible for the familial faciocerebral syndrome described which may range from fusion of the eyelids to various combinations of bilateral or median cleft lip and palate, absent nose and single brain ventricle.

We report relatively high trehalase activity in the amniotic fluid of two fetuses affected with the congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type. The results suggest that prenatal detection of this condition can be done on this basis in conjunction with the alpha-fetoprotein and acetylcholinesterase tests in amniotic fluid.
A twin pregnancy with trisomy 10 p due to a paternal 10;12 translocation is reported. The prenatal diagnosis steps followed in twin pregnancies are reviewed and the concordant features of trisomy 10 p seen in both fetuses confirm previous reports on the clinical features of this chromosomal defect.
