- W2141212135 abstract "The value of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) analysis as an adjunctive test to amniotic alpha fetoprotein (amAFP) for the diagnosis of fetal abnormality has been investigated in a series of 3785 amniotic fluid samples. Quantitative analysis of AChE performed retrospectively on a selected group of 541 amniotic fluid samples failed to discriminate between normal and open neural tube defect pregnancies. Qualitative analysis of AChE by polyacrylamide gel (PAG) electrophoresis in the same series of 541 fluids correctly identified 251 of the 255 pregnancies with open neural tube defect and 29 of the 31 pregnancies with false positive amAFP results. The failure of the test to diagnose 4 cases of open neural tube defect was probably attributable to the age and condition of the stored AF samples. Routine diagnostic testing of AChE isoenzymes in a further 3244 AF samples successfully identified all 170 cases of open neural tube defect and 20 cases with other fetal defects. Thirteen fluids gave false positive AChE results (0.4 per cent) compared to 59 of the series in which there were false positive amAFP results (1.8 per cent). Six of the 13 false positive AChE cases had AChE bands of low intensity which would not be regarded as diagnostic of fetal abnormality, and in five the AChE band may have been the result of significant blood contamination. False positive AChE results contributed to the decision to abort three apparently normal fetuses, but a normal AChE result undoubtedly helped to save a number of pregnancies with false positive amAFP results. Our experience suggests that repeating the amniocentesis may help in resolving the rare diagnostic difficulty of a positive AChE result with or without an elevated amAFP in the absence of ultrasound evidence of fetal abnormality, particularly where there is blood contamination of the amniotic fluid sample." @default.
