Clinical Utility of Nuchal Translucency Measurement in First‐Trimester Ultrasound Screening in a Setting With First‐Tier NIPT for Aneuploidy Screening

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the additional clinical value of nuchal translucency (NT) measurement at the first‐trimester anomaly scan (FTAS) in a setting with first‐tier non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Method This nationwide prospective cohort study, part of the IMITAS study on FTAS implementation, included all pregnancies with increased NT

Attitudes Toward Prenatal Interventions in the Fanconi Anemia Community

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In‐utero cell and gene therapies may offer prenatal treatment options for inherited diseases. Preclinical data suggests in‐utero (IU) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could prevent Fanconi anemia (FA) related bone marrow failure without genotoxic conditioning or immune suppression.

In Utero HSC Transplantation for Sickle Cell Disease: A Potential Therapeutic Approach That Overcomes Complications of Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide but has limited treatment options, most of which carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment for SCD is allogeneic or gene‐modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (Tx).

Structural Variation Sequencing of 26 Amniotic Fluid Samples With Partial Gene Duplications and Postnatal Follow‐Up of the Fetuses

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Partial gene duplications (PGDups) are a significant contributor to genetic disease. The precise genomic location and structure of PGDups are often unresolved using conventional methods, so prenatal diagnosis for PGDups is challenging, especially without ultrasound abnormalities.

Quantitative MRI Assessment of Gyrification and Brain Volume in Congenital Cytomegalovirus Fetuses and Postnatal Outcome

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Quantitative assessment of the impact of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection on fetal brain development beyond conventional imaging remains limited. We aimed to quantify cortical gyrification and brain volumes in CMV‐exposed fetuses, compare groups with varying severities of conventional MRI findings, and evaluate postnatal outcomes ...

The Diagnosis and Prenatal Management of Non‐RHD Alloimmunizations

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization remains a relevant cause of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). Although RhD immunization has significantly decreased since the implementation of systematic prophylaxis, it is still the main cause of alloimmunization in pregnancy.
