Since the beginning of the Eugenics and Health Care Act of 1985, amniocentesis has been undertaken in Taiwan. The three major indications for amniocentesis in our hospital are advanced maternal age, high risk for Down syndrome screening and prenatal echogenic survey of fetal abnormality. The purpose for our research has been based on the analysis of the data for amniocentesis at Chanhwa Show Chwan Memorial Hospital. Tracing back the data of the abnormal cases, we can discover the relationship between the risk factors and chromosome anomaly. The duration of our amniocentesis research was between 1990 and 2005. There were 1369 pregnant women that underwent amniocentesis in our hospital. The totally abnormality rate of chromosome study in amniocentesis was 2.63 % (comparing to the data of NCUH: 2.42% in 5657 cases during 1990-2000, the data of NTUH: 3% in 14200 cases during 1990-1997 and the data of DOH research: 2.53% in 160000 cases during 1990-2000). Since 1994, Down screening for maternal blood has been introduced in the obstetric clinics in our hospital. The average detection rate of amniocentesis for fetal chromosome abnormality has increased from 1.52% to 2.69%. The result of the chromosome abnormality has been noted with prominent change, especially in Trisomy 21 and the sexual chromosome abnormality. On the other hand, Trisomy 18 is usually found through prenatal echogenic abnormal findings. Generally, the abnormal number of chromosomes has occurred at the meiosis stage. The structural abnormality of chromosome has been related to the parental origin. We hope our data can support more information for the obstetric clinic doctors for eugenic knowledge and prenatal genetic consultation. The results can also contribute to the database in Taiwan. |
