  • Title: Distal limb deficiency following chorionic villus sampling?
    Author: Schloo R, Miny P, Holzgreve W, Horst J, Lenz W.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet; 1992 Feb 01; 42(3):404-13. PubMed ID: 1536193.
    Abstract:
    We have reviewed the follow-up of almost 3000 completed pregnancies in the Münster CVS Program and identified 4 children with distal limb deficiencies. Two cases involved only minor anomalies of distal digital phalanges. One child had a Hanhart anomaly (hypoglossia hypodactylia). We also reviewed 24 cases of limb defects following CVS reported previously. With the exception of a single series, neither the overall incidence of affected children nor cases reported from larger series provide unambiguous evidence of an increased risk of distal limb deficiency caused by CVS.
