A Case of Ring Chromosome 18 with Single Umbilical Artery Detected During Prenatal Period

In this study, the clinical findings of a female patient who had a single umbilical artery in the prenatal period and was diagnosed as de novo r(18) by molecular karyotype analysis were compared with those in the literature. A detailed ultrasonographic examination of the fetus with a single umbilical artery may enable the detection of additional anomalies and thus the early diagnosis of chromosomal anomalies may be possible with prenatal genetic analysis.Mol Syndromol
