Exome Sequencing in Prenatally Diagnosed Isolated Neural Tube Defects: A Subtype‐Specific Analysis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore potential genetic contributors across different subtypes of isolated neural tube defects (NTDs) ‐ acrania–exencephaly–anencephaly sequence (AEAS), spinal dysraphism, and encephalocele ‐ using exome sequencing (ES) in a prenatal cohort, with the goal of gaining insight into the molecular diversity underlying these distinct ...

Diagnostic Yield of Post‐Mortem Fetal Micro‐CT for Central Nervous System Abnormalities

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study demonstrates the central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities detected using fetal post‐mortem micro‐focus computed tomography (Micro‐CT), independent of whether the abnormality contributed to the main diagnosis or cause of death.
