Abstract
- We report a family with incontinentia pigmenti. One affected woman had seven pregnancies, seven miscarriages; a prenatal diagnosis by molecular biology was undertaken in the last four cases (two males, two females). In the last two males, a miscarriage occurred at the beginning of the second trimester with cystic hygroma in a case. In the first two males a miscarriage was observed also at the beginning of the second trimester after chorionic biopsy or amniocentesis. These two miscarriages would not be a complication of prenatal diagnosis but spontaneous abortion of an affected male. The date of the miscarriage of affected males (the beginning of the second trimester) and the role of a cystic hygroma for the diagnosis of incontinentia pigmenti in this mother of a fetus karyotyped 46,XY are discussed.
