Abstract
Cockayne's syndrome (CS) was diagnosed prenatally by examination of amniotic cells cultured in vitro. RNA synthesis after irradiation with ultraviolet light was abnormal in cells from a fetus with CS but not in cells from a fetus which was normal. The procedure is simple and rapid and the outcome of the test in two cases (one positive, one negative) was unambiguous.Entities:
