Abstract

This report documents the clinical outcome of 137 consecutive menstrual extractions. The pre- and postprocedural pregnancy testing is correlated with histologic examination of tissue obtained. This report reviews the management of the unsuccessful cases.

Prenatal diagnosis of a fetus with two balanced de novo chromosome rearrangements.

Two apparently balanced chromosome rearrangements were identified in a 17-week fetus by analysis of cultured amniocytes. The fetal karyotype was 46,XX,t(2;16) (q33;q24), inv(7)(p15q11.23). Parental karyotypes were normal, indicating a de novo origin of both chromosome rearrangements in the fetus. The risk of phenotypic abnormality from a de novo reciprocal translocation of inversion has been estimated at approximately 7% [Warburton, 1991]. The risk of abnormality in this fetus was estimated to be a minimum of 14%, based on the additive risk of each rearrangement, equivalent to 3.5% per chromosome breakpoint. The pregnancy was terminated because of the risk of abnormality and the detection of intrauterine growth retardation by ultrasound. In the absence of additional experience, the minimum presumed risk of phenotypic abnormality for de novo, multiple or complex chromosome rearrangements identified prenatally may be estimated as the additive risk of the number of chromosome breakpoints involved.

Ring chromosome 18 in a fetus with only facial anomalies.

We report on a prenatally detected case of ring chromosome 18 [46,XX,r(18)] in amniotic fluid cells of a fetus with an abnormal facial profile on ultrasound as the only malformation. The chromosome 18 origin of the ring chromosome, of a supernumerary marker chromosome in some cells, and of micronuclei was demonstrated by fluorescent in situ hybridization with a whole chromosome 18 paint (Cambio) and 18 centromere probe L1.84. DNA investigations showed deletions of 18p as well as 18q material of r(18), which turned out to be of paternal origin. Autopsy of the fetus after termination of pregnancy at 20 weeks of gestation showed no additional malformations, in agreement with the previous ultrasound findings.
