    Genetic amniocentesis (GA) in prenatal diagnosis (PD) showed a low incidence of abortion and complications. Ultrasound guidance and experienced physicians are crucial for safe GA procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Obstetrics
    • Prenatal Diagnosis

    Context:

    • A study was conducted at Hospital Regional 20 de Novembre from May 1983 to December 1987.
    • 179 patients underwent genetic amniocentesis (GA) for prenatal diagnosis (PD).
    • The study analyzed parameters including patient demographics, procedure details, and outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of genetic amniocentesis for prenatal diagnosis.
    • To assess complication rates, including abortion, amniotic fluid leakage, and hemorrhage.
    • To determine the optimal timing for amniotic fluid sample collection for genetic testing.

    Summary:

    • Genetic amniocentesis procedures were performed in sessions of 3 punctures each.
    • A low incidence of abortion (0.5%) and no cases of amniotic fluid leakage or transvaginal hemorrhage were reported.

  • 79% of samples were collected between 15-17 weeks gestation for alpha-fetoprotein and biochemical studies, including beta-galactosidase levels for generalized gangliosidosis.

    • Impact:

    • The study highlights the safety of GA when performed by experienced physicians with ultrasonic guidance.
    • It underscores the need for more Prenatal Genetic Diagnosis Centers in the country.
    • Findings contribute to the understanding of risks and benefits associated with prenatal genetic testing.
