摘要
Measurement of .beta.-lipoprotein concentration in amniotic fluid is introduced as a new parameter for the early prenatal diagnosis of spina bifida. It was successful in 15 cases of spina bifida, but failed in 5 cases of open spina bifida and 2 cases of closed spina bifida. All assays were performed before the end of the 2nd trimester and most between 15 and 20 wk of pregnancy. .beta.-Lipoprotein was compared with .alpha.-fetoprotein and .alpha.2-macroglobulin in its effectiveness in diagnosing spina bifida early enough to allow a termination of pregnancy.
