Characteristic Analysis of Ultrasound Diagnosis of Limb Body Wall Complex in Early Pregnancy
ABSTRACT This study aims to explore the diagnostic value of prenatal ultrasound in limb body wall complex (LBWC) during pregnancy and to improve the understanding of LBWC for early ultrasound diagnosis. The ultrasound data and follow‐up results of 107 cases of LBWC (predominantly diagnosed in the first trimester) from the Third Affiliated Hospital of ...

The dark side of centromeres: types, causes and consequences of structural abnormalities implicating centromeric DNA [PDF]
Centromeres are the chromosomal domains required to ensure faithful transmission of the genome during cell division. They have a central role in preventing aneuploidy, by orchestrating the assembly of several components required for chromosome separation.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Horseshoe Lung: A Report of Three Cases and Review of the Literature
ABSTRACT Objective Horseshoe lung is a rare congenital malformation in which the lungs are fused by a parenchymal isthmus. The current literature is very limited regarding cases of prenatal diagnosis and their outcome. Method We retrospectively examined three cases of fetuses with horseshoe lung diagnosed antenatally in our center from 2015 to 2024 ...

Prediction of Preeclampsia in Twins Using First Trimester: cffDNA Fraction, PlGF, and MAP
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate cell‐free fetal DNA fraction (cffDNAF) as a first‐trimester screening marker for preeclampsia necessitating delivery before 37 weeks' gestation in twin pregnancies alone and combined with other bio‐markers. Methods Women with two live fetuses were enrolled in the first trimester, and evaluated for cffDNAF as a first ...

Fork rotation and DNA precatenation are restricted during DNA replication to prevent chromosomal instability [PDF]
Faithful genome duplication and inheritance require the complete resolution of all intertwines within the parental DNA duplex. This is achieved by topoisomerase action ahead of the replication fork or by fork rotation and subsequent resolution of the DNA

ABSTRACT Objective Monogenic disorders (MDs), often associated with developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia, or dysmorphic facial features, typically go undetected during pregnancy. These disorders are frequently caused by de novo single nucleotide variants (SNVs), which are not currently covered by routine non‐invasive prenatal testing

Information homeostasis as a fundamental principle governing the cell division and death [PDF]
To express genetic information with minimal error is one of the key functions of a cell. Here we propose an information theory based phenomenological model for the expression of genetic information.
