Clin Genet. 1979 Jun;15(6):495-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1979.tb00831.x.

Abstract

Six pregnancies at risk for thrombocytopenia and absent radii (TAR) have been studied between 16 and 20 menstrual weeks utilizing fetal radiography. Two affected and four unaffected fetuses have been correctly identified. Fetal radiography can provide reliable prenatal diagnosis in pregnancies at risk for TAR.
