Abstract: Objective To explore application of fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) in fast diagnosing chromosomal aberration of amniotic cells. Methods The pregnant under going amniocentesis in Beijing Gynecology & Obsterics Hospital Capital Medical University from 2013 June to 2016 December were enrolled. Amniotic fluid cells of 1 676 patients were analyzed by FISH and karyotype analysis. Results Indications of 1 676 pregnant included:advanced maternal age(637, 38.1%), high risk of serum screening(699, 41.71%), high risk of cell fetal DNA testing(315, 18.79%), abnormal results of B ultrasound(16, 0.95%). About 240 patients got positive FISH results, including 140 trisomy 21, 44 trisomy 18, 14 trisomy 13, 32 sex chromosomal aneuploidy and 10 mosaics. Among 1 676 patients, 252 patients got positive karyotype type, including 240 above positive FISH results, 1 mosaic of chromosome 22, 6 balanced chromosomal rearrangement, 1 unbalanced chromosomal rearrangement and 4 polymorphism. Conclusion Chromosome 21, chromosome 18, chromosome 13 and sex chromosomal aneuploidy can be quickly diagnosed by FISH. However, karyotype analysis should be adopted in the other suspected chromosomal aberrations.
