ABSTRACT Introduction Congenital anomalies and genetic disorders contribute substantially to perinatal morbidity and mortality, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Prenatal healthcare providers play a key role in identifying affected pregnancies and referring to patients for genetic counselling; however, referral practices remain ...

ABSTRACT Objective Prenatal cfDNA screening has transformed care, yet it remains difficult to determine whether X aneuploidy signals originate from the patient or fetus, inflating screen positive and false positive rates. One potential solution is to incorporate fragment size data from paired‐end sequencing (PES).

How to facilitate ultrasound examination of the fetal heart: the 5‐4‐3‐2‐1 method
ABSTRACT We propose a new standardized, systematic method of fetal cardiac screening, the step‐by‐step ‘5‐4‐3‐2‐1’ method. This method is based on understanding the cardiac structures through a process of navigating between the different recommended views during an abdominothoracic sweep, following a user‐friendly checklist to identify the main ...
