title: Prenatal detection of cri du chat syndrome on uncultured amniocytes using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
abstract: Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a chromosome-region-specific DNA probe was used prospectively on uncultured amniocyte interphase cells to detect an unbalanced chromosome abnormality that resulted in cri du chat or 5p- syndrome. Confirmation was performed by routine cytogenetics.
