abstract：:We report the first use of amnion epithelium for prenatal diagnosis. Prenatal diagnosis of recessive epidermolysis bullosa atrophicans generalisata gravis Herlitz type can at present be achieved with safety by detailed ultrastructural analysis of fetal skin. Because of the close developmental origin of amnion and skin...
