Familial amniotic bands.

M Lubinsky, E Sujansky, W Sanger

    American Journal of Medical Genetics
    |January 1, 1983

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Familial amniotic band anomalies, though rare, are presented in two families. While these occurrences may be coincidental with low recurrence risk, they suggest caution with amniocentesis in future pregnancies.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Developmental Biology
    • Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Amniotic bands are known to cause congenital deformities and are typically considered sporadic.
    • Understanding the etiology and recurrence patterns of amniotic band sequence is crucial for genetic counseling.

    Observation:

    • Two families exhibiting apparent familial recurrence of amniotic band anomalies are described.
    • A review of additional literature cases suggests potential familial aggregation.

    Findings:

    • The observed familial clustering of amniotic band malformations may be coincidental.
    • The recurrence risk for amniotic band anomalies appears to be low, even in familial cases.

    Implications:

    • Familial cases of amniotic band malformations warrant careful consideration.
  • Caution is advised regarding the use of amniocentesis in pregnancies with a history of amniotic band anomalies.
