Genetic amniocentesis in twin pregnancy.

Abstract:

:Among 1041 pregnancies 13 twin gestations were detected by routine ultrasonography prior to genetic amniocentesis at the Department of Prenatal Physiopathology of the University of Bologna. Clear amniotic fluid from both sacs was obtained in 12 of 13 sets of twins. All 12 sets were cytogenetically normal with normal levels of alpha-fetoprotein. Only one patient spontaneously aborted liveborn immature twins 30 days after the procedure. The technique used to obtain samples of fluid is described in detail and the need for additional counselling prior to amniocentesis in twins is stressed.
