Analysis of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) in chorionic villus cells may become useful in measuring the response of fetal tissues to clastogens or mutagens or for prenatal diagnosis of chromosome breakage syndromes such as Bloom syndrome. Previous studies have failed to analyze cytotrophoblastic cells and mesenchymal core cells, or have found no difference between SCE frequencies in directly prepared and cultured cells. Our data indicate significant differences in SCE frequencies between the two cell types: SCE frequency in directly prepared cytotrophoblasts was 6.73 SCE/cell +/- 1.6, whereas SCE frequency in cultured mesenchymal core cells was 10.31 SCE/cell +/- 0.49 (P less than 0.001). SCE analyses involving chorionic villi must take into account cell type.

D012854 Sister Chromatid Exchange An exchange of segments between the sister chromatids of a chromosome, either between the sister chromatids of a meiotic tetrad or between the sister chromatids of a duplicated somatic chromosome. Its frequency is increased by ultraviolet and ionizing radiation and other mutagenic agents and is particularly high in BLOOM SYNDROME.

D014327 Trophoblasts Cells lining the outside of the BLASTOCYST. After binding to the ENDOMETRIUM, trophoblasts develop into two distinct layers, an inner layer of mononuclear cytotrophoblasts and an outer layer of continuous multinuclear cytoplasm, the syncytiotrophoblasts, which form the early fetal-maternal interface (PLACENTA).
