Abstract
To the Editor: The recent exchange of letters on chorionic villus sampling (April 26 issue)1 , 2 suggests an inappropriate picture of the current appraisal of this procedure. Although in October 19833 it was appropriate to quote Dr. Hobbins' estimate of a total loss rate as high as 12 per cent, as derived from the fetoscopy meeting of September 1983, it is not appropriate now.We maintain a registry of diagnostic cases using chorionic villus sampling that is approved and supported by the World Health Organization's Hereditary Diseases Programme and uses voluntary submission of data from investigators. There are 1232 registered cases, . . .Keywords
