chorionic villus sampling (cvs) is a new method and its true risk of fetal loss and complications is not still clearly determined. the objective of this study was to review the clinical pregnancy outcome of transabdominal cvs (ta-cvs) performed on women with minor beta thalassemia. ta-cvs performed on 300 women with a singleton pregnancy and we could follow 213 women until delivery. data regard...

with significant improve in health-care and treatment of infectious diseases, genetic disorders have created a new era of notification. changes in social attitude towards family life and tendency of parents for limited number of children, sense of responsibility of parents for mental and physical healthiness of children along with their education, needed a new strategy. since most genetic disor...

Prenatal diagnosis with application of the Amniotic fluid (Amniocentesis: AC) and chorionic villi sampling {CVS) is a general aspect of application in Human Genetics which facilitate the diagnosis of different Genetic defects, enclosing chromosomal abnormalities and Genosomopathies. Diagnosis of Genetic defects for AC and CVS is between 16-20th and 8-12th weeks of gestation respectively. Allica...

The cytogenetic findings were analysed in a series of 500 pregnancies in which chorionic villi sampling was performed. In all cases a direct method was used, karyotyping being successful in 481 cases (96.2%). The main indication for sampling was maternal age over 36 (412 cases; 82.4%). Abnormal laboratory findings resulted in 24 terminations of pregnancy (4.8%); in addition five unexpected bala...

BACKGROUND The use of invasive devices and broad spectrum antibiotics has increased the rate of candidal superinfections. Candida sepsis associated with pregnancy is rare.

Blood culture and curettage mate...

A 36 year old white female was referred for chorionic villus sampling for advanced maternal age. Direct (cytotrophoblast) preparations of chorionic villi were 45,X, but cultured mesenchymal core cells from the same villi were 46,XX. Study of embryonic and extraembryonic tissues showed the aneuploidy to be limited to cytotrophoblasts from specific placental sites. In aggregate, the cytogenetic f...
