As previously stated, HLA typing can be used as the primary test for the prenatal diagnosis of the HLA-linked monogenetic disease congenital adrenal hyperplnsia due to 21-hydroxylase It can also be used for the prenatal diagnosis of another HLA-linked disease, complement C4 deficiency: and for the prenatal determination of paternity.','Most importantly, successful test results from prenatal HLA typing of amniotic fluid cells have so far proved accurate in all cases in which postnatal samples have been available. However, in a few instances, technical and theoretical difficulties have made HLA test results for amniotic fluid cells difficult to inter~ ret.~ These difficulties have resulted because B and C locus antigens are poorly expressed on most amniotic cell cultures'" because the existence of positive associations between HLA-linked disease factors and specific HLA increases the chance that both parents in a pregnancy at risk for that disease will have the same HLA antigens on their HLA-linked disease haplotypes, and because one parent has been HLA-A, B homozygous.In one particular case (Pang et al.)," weak HLA-B antigen expression resulted in failure to detect an HLA-A/B recombination in a fetus at risk for 21-OH deficiency. The parental 21-OH deficiency haplotypes both had HLA-B18, and the HLA-A/B recombination resulted in conversion to homozygosity for both B18 and the 21-OH deficiency alleles. In another case, the haplotype HLA-A2, Bw44, which has a frequency of 6% in North American Cauca~ ians,'~ had homozygous expression in the mother of one 2 1-OH deficiency family, which precluded the use of HLA typing for
