False‐positive diagnosis of trisomy 21 using fluorescence <i>in situ</i> hybridisation (FISH) on uncultured amniotic fluid cells
5 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
An amniocentesis was performed on a 22-week pregnancy following the detection of foetal abnormalities on ultrasound. A rapid aneuploid screen using fluorescence in situ hybridisation on uncultured amniotic fluid cells revealed 3 signals for chromosome 21, consistent with trisomy 21. In situ metaphase cultures revealed a 46,XY normal male karyotype. These discordant results may be explained by a sub-standard batch...
