- Abstract
Data on 2058 late CVS cases, i.e., placental biopsies after 12 completed weeks of pregnancy, were collected from 24 centres. Two major groups of indications with or without ultrasound findings suspicious of fetal chromosomal abnormalities can be differentiated. In the first group, the rates of cytogenetic anomalies (21 per cent) and fetal losses (10 per cent) are high. The respective figures for the low-risk group are 6 per cent for chromosome anomalies and 2 per cent for total fetal losses. To evaluate this rapidly spreading new method further, more data are required and will be collected by the CVS registry based in Philadelphia, U.S.A.
