Popis: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between fetal abnormal karyotype and fetal abnormal ultrasound examination in pregnancy. A total of 191 women were analyzed for karyotyping after detection of a soft marker or of major malformations at the routine antenatal USG, for the period 2007–2011. A total of 191 amniotic fluid samples were analyzed for chromosome aberrations and the fetal karyotype was abnormal in 24.6% (47/191) of all cases. Among them, 13 cases were with trisomy 21; 5 cases with trisomy 18; 1 case with trisomy 13; 2 cases with triploidy; 7 cases with karyotype of 45, X; 1 case with karyotype 47, XXY; and 18 cases with other abnormal chromosome structures. One hundred and fifty-two karyotyping procedures were done due to the finding of a single sonographic marker. Within this group, 17.1 % of the karyotypes were abnormal. Thirty-nine karyotyping procedures were done due to the finding of a multiple sonographic marker. In this group, 53.8 % of the karyotypes were abn...
