Prenatal Screening Via cfDNA – Paired‐End Sequencing Utilizing Fragment Size Information Reduces the Screen Positive Rate for X Chromosome Aneuploidies

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
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 ...
