Further expansion and confirmation of phenotype in rare loss of YWHAE gene distinct from Miller–Dieker syndrome

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 2, Page 526-539, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Deletion of 17p13.3 has varying degrees of severity on brain development based on precise location and size of the deletion. The most severe phenotype is Miller–Dieker syndrome (MDS) which is characterized by lissencephaly, dysmorphic facial features, growth failure, developmental disability, and often early death.

Tricky TRIC: A replication study using trophoblast retrieval and isolation from the cervix to study genetic birth defects

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, Volume 42, Issue 13, Page 1612-1621, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective Noninvasive Prenatal Diagnosis has recently been introduced for a limited number of monogenetic disorders. However, the majority of DNA diagnostics still require fetal material obtained using an invasive test. Recently, a novel technique, TRIC (Trophoblast Retrieval and Isolation from the Cervix), has been described, which collects ...

Positive predictive value of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)‐based NIPT for aneuploidy in twins: Experience from clinical practice

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, Volume 42, Issue 13, Page 1587-1593, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective Twins account for approximately 1 in 30 live births in the United States. However, there are limited clinical experience studies published in noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for detecting aneuploidies in twins. This study reports the performance of an SNP‐based NIPT in the largest cohort with known outcomes for high‐risk ...

Fetal cerebral ventriculomegaly: What do we tell the prospective parents?

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, Volume 42, Issue 13, Page 1674-1681, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Fetal cerebral ventriculomegaly is a relatively common finding, observed during approximately 1% of obstetric ultrasounds. In the second and third trimester, mild (≥10 mm) and severe ventriculomegaly (≥15 mm) are defined according to the measurement of distal lateral ventricles that is included in the routine sonographic examination of central

“[She] said : ‘take the test’ and I took the test”. Relational work as a framework to approach directiveness in prenatal screening of Chinese clients in Hong Kong [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper we apply the framework of relational work, or the work individuals invest in maintaining their relationships (Locher and Watts 2005), to the analysis of prenatal screening (PS) for Down Syndrome of Chinese clients in Hong Kong.
