Montgomery: "Re: recurrent truncus arteriosus" A wild guess would be a deletion in one of the parent's 22q (Shprintzen's - DiGeorge's region). Have cytogenetics (FISH 22q11.2) been done on peripheral bloods on each of the parents? If not, it is now indicated. Have cytogenetics been done one the fetus(ses)? -- Bert Gold, Ph.D. San Francisco On Tue, 6 Aug 1996 mdjacob@techunix.technion.ac.il wrote: > A question to the audience: > We have a 25 y.o. female of caucasian origin. > 1st pregnancy- u/s dx of fetal truncus arteriosus - verified by p.m. > 2nd pregnancy - u/s dx of Fallot's - pregnancy termination > 3rd pregnancy - currently - u/s at 15 wks dx of truncus arteriosus. > Parents are healthy, not relatives.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
