    Author: Boué J, Girard S, Thépot F, Choiset A, Boué A.
    Journal: Prenat Diagn; 1982 Jul; 2(3):163-8. PubMed ID: 7145845.
    Abstract:
    Among 5315 prenatal diagnoses performed for various indications (maternal age, neural tube defect, metabolic diseases, X-linked diseases, pathologic pregnancies) 29 unexpected structural chromosome rearrangements were found in fetal cells. Fourteen were de novo chromosome rearrangements, six unbalanced, and eight balanced. Fifteen were inherited and balanced rearrangements. This high frequency of structural anomalies is discussed.
