Metachromatic leucodystrophy was excluded in a fetus at risk, by assay of fetal blood collected at fetoscopy. Isolated fetal leucocytes were shown to have activities of arylsulphatase A and cerebroside sulphatase in the heterozygous range. The prediction was confirmed in the newborn.
通过对胎儿镜检查时采集的胎儿血液进行检测,排除了一名有患病风险胎儿的异染性脑白质营养不良症。结果显示,分离出的胎儿白细胞中芳基硫酸酯酶A和脑苷脂硫酸酯酶的活性处于杂合子范围内。这一预测在新生儿身上得到了证实。
