Eighty-five samples of chorionic villi from women undergoing prenatal diagnosis at 8 to 12 weeks' gestation were subjected to cytogenetic analysis. Samples were prepared by a direct technique that permits limited analysis within two hours and by a short-term culture technique that permits detailed structural analysis within one week. An adequate number of cell divisions for cytogenetic analysis was obtained from 96% of living fetuses. Using both the direct technique and short-term culture, satisfactory banded chromosomal preparations were made in 93% of cases. Eleven of 12 pregnancies (92%) shown by ultrasound to be dead shortly before sampling, had cytogenetic abnormalities. Further studies are needed to develop banding definition equivalent to that available on cultured amniocytes.
