After exclusion of familial chromosome rearrangements, i.e. balanced autosomal reciprocal or Robertsonian translocations (30\/5049) and inversions (19\/5049), 2.65% chromosomal anomalies (134\/5049) were diagnosed. Of this group 0.18% (9\/5049) were chromosomal rearrangements not detectable by FISH and 2.47% (125\/5049) were numerical chromosomal anomalies detectable by interphase FISH for chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y. With routine interphase FISH for chromosome 21 and FISH on echographic indication for the other four chromosomes we detected 107\/125 of these numerical chromosomal anomalies, i.e. 85.6%. All 70 cases of trisomy 21 were detected by FISH and confirmed with conventional cytogenetics (sensitivity=100%) and there were no false\u2010positive results (specificity=100%). Maternal cell contamination of amniotic fluid samples occurred in 1.27% (64\/5049) of samples; 0.26% (13\/5049) of these samples were uninformative by FISH due to maternal cell contamination (12\/5049) or absence of nuclei in one sample (1\/5049).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this group of 5049 samples we found that FISH is a reliable technique for the rapid prenatal diagnosis of trisomy 21. The number of uninformative cases due to maternal cell contamination was low. The strategy to perform FISH for chromosome 21 in all samples and only on ultrasonographic indication for the four other chromosomes (13, 18, X and Y) followed by standard cytogenetics is effective.
