Abstract
Three fetuses with TAR (thrombocytopenia with absent radii) or TAR var iant syndrome were found to be thrombocytopenic during the third trime ster of the pregnancy. These findings indicate that fetal blood sampli ng, besides ultrasonography, skeletal radiographs, or even fetoscopy, may indeed contribute to the prenatal diagnosis of TAR syndrome, and t hus may help in differentiating TAR syndrome from other syndromes with malformations of the upper limbs.
