Summary

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) detected chromosomal abnormalities in 6.4% of pregnancies. Transabdominal CVS showed a lower spontaneous abortion rate (2.8%) compared to transcervical CVS (5.8%).

Area of Science:

  • Prenatal Diagnostics
  • Genetics
  • Obstetrics

Context:

  • Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a key prenatal diagnostic tool.
  • Evaluating the safety and efficacy of different CVS approaches is crucial for patient care.
  • Chromosome analysis via CVS provides vital information for pregnancy management.

Purpose:

  • To assess the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities detected through CVS.
  • To compare the complication rates, specifically spontaneous abortion, between transcervical and transabdominal CVS methods.
  • To determine the preferred CVS technique for early-term prenatal diagnosis.

Summary:

  • A 4-year study analyzed 387 CVS procedures for chromosome analysis.
  • Chromosomal abnormalities were identified in 6.4% of cases, including autosomal trisomies, structural anomalies, and sex chromosomal aberrations.

  • Transabdominal CVS (272 cases) had a lower spontaneous abortion rate (2.8%) than transcervical CVS (115 cases, 5.8%).

    • Impact:

    • The findings support the termination of pregnancies with detected chromosomal abnormalities or X-linked diseases.
    • The study highlights the transabdominal approach as a preferred method for early-term CVS due to its safety profile.
    • This research contributes to informed decision-making in prenatal genetic screening and management.
