|August 2, 1978
Abstract:
A case of pregnancy in a patient with trisomy 21 with birth of a hypotrophic infant, with a normal caryotype but multiple malformations. This case illustrates the limitations on antenatal diagnosis by amniocentesis. Study of the literature confirms the unfavourable foetal prognosis as a result of the risk of transmission of the chromosomal abnormality and, secondly, the prevalence of incest.
