Estimates of the frequency of chromosome abnormalities detectable in unselected newborns using moderate levels of banding.

Abstract excerpt

Data on structural chromosome abnormalities identified during prenatal diagnosis were used to estimate the number of such abnormalities that would be detectable in an unselected series of newborns using moderate levels of banding (400 to 500 bands). These estimates were compared with the rates detected in nonbanded surveys of newborns. Between 1976 and 1990 prenatal diagnosis using banding techniques was carried...
