Prerequisites and strategies for prenatal diagnosis of respiratory chain deficiency in chorionic villi.

Abstract excerpt

Prenatal diagnosis for respiratory chain deficiencies is a complex procedure that requires a thorough diagnostic work-up of the index patient. This includes confirmation of the clinical and metabolic evaluations through histological and enzymatic examinations of tissue biopsies. Prenatal diagnosis currently relies on biochemical assays of respiratory chain complexes in chorionic villi or amniocytes and is...
