Congenital erythropoietic porphyria is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by a deficiency of uroporphyrinogen III cosynthetase activity, with diffuse tissue accumulation of specific type I porphyrins. The diagnosis of this disease was made in two fetuses, who were siblings, and from a Caucasian nonconsanguinous family. The first fetus died in utero with hydrops fetalis and anemia, but without an etiopathogenic diagnosis. In the second case, the diagnosis was based on pink fluorescence of the amniotic fluid examined fortuitously in sunlight. DNA analysis showed that the fetus was heteroallelic for the mutation C73R. The autopsy showed brown skin, and at histological examination, porphyrin pigment was deposited in many tissues. Retrospectively, similar deposits were found in the tissues of the first fetus.

Carrier of tyrosinemia type I was diagnosed by sequencingFAH(fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase) gene. It leads to the identification of heterozygous status for both c.648C>G (p.Ile216Met) and c.1159G>A (p.Gly387Arg) mutations in exons 8 and 13, respectively, in the parents. The experimental program PolyPhen, SIFT, and MT predicts former missense point mutation as “benign” that creates a potential donor splice site and later one as “probably damaging” which disrupts secondary structure of protein.

Sirenomelia is a very rare congenital anomaly. Type I is the mildest type, and the long bone structures are all normally present with only soft tissue fusion. We experienced a case of type I sirenomelia complicated by severe oligohydramnios. Because of severe oligohydramnios, ultrasonographic images were not very clear. The associated findings with sirenomelia (single umbilical artery and bilateral renal agenesis) were helpful for the prenatal diagnosis of this disease. Detailed sonographic examination of the fetus was thought to be necessary for the accurate prenatal diagnosis of sirenomelia.
