abstract：:The current interest in early amniocentesis as a possible alternative to chorion villus sampling has driven many centres to attempt cell culture from first trimester amniotic fluid. This study examines the cellular content of 125 amniotic fluid specimens collected between 8 and 18 weeks of gestation and shows that the...
