Methods of prenatal diagnosis for chromosomal abnormalities: The disadvantages A. Mamopoulos 3 rd Dept.OB-GYN,Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece Correspondence: A. Mamopoulos 133 Tsimiski str., Thessaloniki, Greece Tel.: , Fax: amamop@spark.net.gr Summary The different methods of Prenatal Screening for Chromosomal abnormalities are presented in this article. The characteristics as well as the disadvantages of Increased Nuchal Translucency, of the "Triple" or the "Double" Biochemical screening tests but also of their combinations are mentioned. All these methods are used in order to detect the highrisk cases among the general population that would have been missed if maternal age was used as the sole criterion. Amniocentesis or Chorionic Villus Sampling should be offered in all these cases since these are the only definitive diagnostic methods that are used today. The fetal blood sampling, another EАВАВHNIKH MAIEYTIKH & АсYNAIKOАВOАсIKH ETAIPEIA 117

6 MАУАв apple АУ : fiapple. Ая. alternative invasive method is used in some cases. The isolation and examination of fetal cells from the maternal circulation appears to be the ideal method since it combines screening and diagnostic characteristics but its widespread use in the general population is not possible yet.
