Abstract excerpt
The cytogenetic abnormalities of dysmorphic fetuses who died in utero cannot be analyzed reliably by karyotyping. To overcome this obstacle, the authors applied fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue of two female infants and 13 female fetuses whose phenotypic features suggested possible Turner's syndrome. Previous cytogenetic evaluation of the amnionic fluid showed...
