Historical perspective in prenatal diagnosis • Modern era in 1952 by Bevus – technique of amniocentesis • Liley in 1961 – severity of erythroblastosis bilirubin level • IN 1966 – fetal cells from amniotic fluid cultured & karyotyped • In 1966 Hahnemann fetal chorionic villi T.V. by hysteroscope
Historical Perspective in prenatal diagnosis (cont) • In 1970, Chinese workers blind aspiration of chorionic villi for fetal sex • In 1982, Kazy et al., - role of ultrasonography in successful CVS • In 1985, Brambati et al., rapid uncultured villi – Trisomy 21 at 11 week • Milan group able to minimize maternal cell contamination
Diagnostic techniques for the 1st trimester • Pre-implantation embryo biopsy • Fetal cells isolated from maternal blood • Coelocentesis • Chorionic villous sampling • Ultrasonography
Diagnostic techniques in the 2nd trimester • Late chorionic villous sampling • Amniocentesis • Maternal biochemical analysis • Ultrasonography • Fetal blood sampling
Introduction • Chorionic Villus Sampling • Well established in prenatal diagnosis • Villi have same genetic constitution • Reflects chromosomal , biochemical & DNA • CVS as alternative to amniocentesis • Safe, reliable, widespread application • Multicentric study – sampling success 98%
Indications for CVS in our multicentric study • A. Increased risk for Chromosome anomalies • 1.Advanced maternal age > 35 years • 2.Previous aneuploid offspring • 3.Parental balanced structural rearrangement • a. Reciprocal translocation • b. Robertsonian translocation • c. Inversions • 4.Maternal Abnormal serum screening • 5.Ultrasound diagnosis of anomalies • a. Major malformations • b. Minor anomalies • B. Previous offspring with NTD • C. Parents carriers of Mendelian traits • D. X-Linked Recessive Didorders
Utilization of CVS • Rapid Karyotyping – when fetal blood sampling unavailable • Excellent source of fetal DNA – for prenatal diagnosis • Cloning of genes & to develop DNA probes • Enzyme expression – to identify inborn errors of metabolism
