title: [Chorionic villi sampling. Results with the first 500 samples].
abstract: 531 chorionic villi forceps biopsies were carried out, to look for genetic diseases. Sampling was impossible in 24 cases (4.5%). The following indications were chosen: maternal age over 38 years: 361 cases; parental chromosome abnormality: 28 cases; previous history of chromosome abnormality: 21 cases; X-linked disease: 77 cases; metabolic disease: 32 cases; hemoglobinopathy: 7 cases; blood group determination: 5 cases. An elective abortion was carried out in 44 cases (8.7%), whereas 465 pregnancies were not interrupted. Full term has been reached in 327 pregnancies. The rate of miscarriage in this group is 3.9% (13 miscarriages out of 327 pregnancies followed). The results obtained at the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul Hospital show that the cytogenetic technique is reliable, and that the low risk of sampling allows its application in the diagnosis of chromosome anomalies.
