Combined QF-PCR and MLPA molecular analysis of miscarriage products: an efficient and robust alternative to karyotype analysis.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:To determine fetal features, which could lead to the diagnosis of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) during pregnancy. METHODS:We analyze the ultrasound features, genetic studies and pathologic findings in two cases of PWS diagnosed during pregnancy. RESULTS:In the first case, diminished fetal movement, polyhydra...
