title: [Activity of glycosidases in amniotic fluid cell cultures].
abstract: Deficiency of glycosidases is a fundamental feature of the hereditary diseases of glycoconjugate accumulation. The data obtained on activity of glycosidases in cell culture of normal amnionic fluid might be used as standards in prenatal diagnostics of hereditary glycolipidoses and glycoproteinoses. Use of cell culture of amnionic fluid for prenatal diagnosis of Tay-Sachs disease is described.
