Severe intrauterinegrowth retardation withincreased mitomycin Csensitivity, or Nijmegenbreakage syndrome?
We read with great interest the paper byWoods et al' entitled "Severe intrauterinegrowth retardation with increased mitomycinC sensitivity: a further chromosome breakagesyndrome." We believe that this is an im-portant paper. However, we do not agree
that this patient has "a further chromosomebreakage syndrome".The reported infant had pre- and postnatal
microcephaly and growth retardation, a dis-tinctive facies, and developmental delay. Hebecame pancytopenic at 16 months and diedsoon after. Increased spontaneous randomchromosome breakage was seen in blood andfibroblast cultures. Mitomycin C inducedchromosome damage was increased and com-parable to that seen in Fanconi anaemia. Theauthors hypothesise that this entity of severe
intrauterine growth retardation and increasedmitomycin C sensitivity may be a distinctchromosome breakage syndrome.We suspect that the patient of Woods et al
most probably has the Nijmegen breakagesyndrome (NBS).2-4 The physical features,very well illustrated in the paper, as well as
the chromosomal breaks, are very suggestiveof this diagnosis. Unfortunately, a post-y ir-radiation DNA synthesis test has not beenperformed on the child's cells, nor a serum
oa fetoprotein determination, to differentiatefrom ataxia telangiectasia (AT).The hypospadias described in the patient
of Woods et al has not been previously re-
ported in NBS patients. However, we havefollowed up a boy of Yugoslavian origin affec-ted with NBS who presented with hypo-spadias and thus suspect that the childreported by Woods et al and our patient are
affected with a new clinical variant of NBS.At the end of their paper the authors inform
us that fibroblast cell line MI-C445 fromtheir patient is available from the MurdochInstitute for additional studies. We suggestthat a post-y irradiation DNA synthesis testbe performed on these cells to rule out or
confirm the diagnosis of NBS.In case this diagnosis is confirmed, the
cells of their patient and ours should havecomplementation studies with cell lines ofother patients diagnosed as NBS, to deter-mine whether they represent a separate andnew complementation group.

Prenatal Diagnosis: The Human Side.Editors L Abramsky, J Chapple. (Pp 211;£15.99.) London: Chapman and Hall. 1994.
This is the first book which devotes itselfentirely to the psychosocial implications ofprenatal diagnosis and screening. The mul-tidisciplinary array of chapter authors par-
ticipated in a conference at the Institute ofObstetrics and Gynaecology in London in1992, which showed the increasing awareness
among health care professionals of the emo-
tional sequelae to antenatal testing for ab-normality. The chapters, on the whole,complement one another rather than goingover the same ground, and are enhanced bybeing approached from so many differentperspectives (clinicians, genetic counsellors,midwives, ultrasonographers, research psy-
chologists, parents). The only chapter whichdoes not sit comfortably with the rest is theone on preimplantation diagnosis, as it mainlydescribes the procedure rather than focusingon acceptability and psychological aspects.
Jo Green and Lenore Abramsky's chaptersclearly set out the case for improved pretestcounselling, based both on research data (use-ful comprehensive list of references) and clin-ical experience, although they focus mostlyon routine population screening tests ratherthan prenatal diagnosis for genetic in-dications. Christine Garrett and LynCharlton's excellent chapter on difficult de-cisions will be of particular interest to geneticcounsellors (clinicians and coworkers) as theyfocus on those situations where the results ofprenatal diagnosis are less than clear. Theirdiscussion of decision making models is prac-tically focused.Although prenatal screening is provided
routinely in ultrasound departments, thepressures and dilemmas this poses for ra-
diographers has previously been given littleattention, so the chapter by an ultra-sonographer is an important contribution.Although the dilemmas outlined will no doubtbe familiar to radiographers, it is also in-formative for the rest of us to appreciatethe constraints placed on radiographers oftenbecause of historical protocol. The "humanside" of prenatal diagnosis must include theemotional impact on staff as well as on par-ents, but the chapter devoted to this, "Caringfor the carers", is too generic and staff con-
cerns are in fact better dealt with in the
chapter on late prenatal diagnosis (written byLucy Turner, a midwife). It would also havebeen interesting to include the impact onlaboratory staff.Helen Statham, writing from her own per-
sonal point of view as a mother, as wellas through her contacts with members ofSAFTA, describes how each diagnosis of ab-normality impacts on a family, even whenthe diagnosis and decision are "clear". Thechapter I liked most of all was that writtenby Ray Hall, the father of a baby terminatedafter the diagnosis of spina bifida. As hestates, so little is written about the father'sperspective, and as genetic counsellors we sooften feel at a loss as to know how to helpfathers, that I avidly read his candid accountand views on fathers' ways of coping.
Overall this volume is admirably com-prehensive, with the omission of chapters on(1) support for couples who choose not toterminate, through the pregnancy and after,and (2) parents at high genetic risk, who maybe facing a series of pregnancies and prenataltests. The editors state in their introductionthat the book is not intended to pass on alarge body of information, but rather to drawattention to the extent of psychosocial se-quelae stemming from prenatal screening anddiagnosis. This is in fact overly modest, as Iam sure that most people involved in pro-viding prenatal diagnostic services will learna great deal from this book as well as beingstimulated to re-evaluate their practice.

Friendly Fire: Explaining AutoimmuneDisease. D Isenberg, J Morrow. (Pp 155;£17.99.) Oxford: Oxford University Press.1995. ISBN 0-19-262220-X.
Together with single gene disorders and mul-tifactorial diseases, such as cardiovascular dis-ease and cancer, autoimmune diseases arecurrently the object of much investigativeattention. As far as autoimmune disease isconcerned I believe this to be because of twofactors. The first is the intense contemporaryintellectual ferment which is the study ofimmunology, while the second is the strongdesire to exploit our emerging notions ofself tolerance in some practical form. In thetwilight years of the 20th century perhapsimmunology expresses the ultimate searchfor self, the search for that which makes usdifferent.Autoimmune disease in its purest sense is
the result of the immune system turning itsconsiderable firepower on its own host tissues.In this book the authors attempt to explain thedevastating impact of autoimmune diseaseon the unfortunate victim by invoking theconcept of "Friendly Fire". The term wascoined during the Gulf War to describe ac-cidental attrition against one's own side(which operationally meant the anti-Iraqi co-alition). The analogy is useful in that auto-immune diease is a relatively infrequentconsequence of that most potent of defensemechanisms, the host immune system. How-ever, the authors enjoy stretching their meta-phor to the point where it becomes irritating.I fail to see how neutrophils can be seen asthe equivalent of the SAS or Delta Force asclaimed on p 20. The latter are not numerousand are reputed to be highly selective killerswhereas neutrophil invasion of an inflamedtissue exhibits quite different characteristics.There are also problems with the Friendly
