Abstract
Chromosome analysis of amniotic fluid cells and amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein determinations were used to investigate a fetus with severe intrauterine growth retardation in the third trimester. The karyotype was 47,XY,18+ and increased alpha-fetoprotein levels indicated the presence of congenital malformations. We suggest that when severe fetal growth retardation is detected early in the antepartum course, amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein and amniotic fluid cell chromosome studies be done to determine if congenital anomalies may be an etiological factor.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
