The Expanding Role of Gene Sequencing in Shaping Fetal Therapies: Clinical and Ethical Considerations

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In utero interventions are transformative in addressing genetic and anatomic conditions during fetal development. Next generation sequencing enables early genetic testing, playing a pivotal role in prenatal decision‐making by supporting risk stratification, precise and timely diagnosis, which directly informs eligibility for fetal surgical and

Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn: Fetal RHD Genotyping, Targeted Prophylaxis, and Prenatal Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) remains a significant concern in prenatal care primarily caused by maternal alloimmunization against fetal red blood cell antigens, most commonly the D antigen. Noninvasive fetal RHD genotyping, used as a screening tool, enables targeted antenatal prophylaxis and has been implemented in several

Nine years' experience of trial of labor after two previous cesarean sections at a tertiary hospital – A retrospective cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
A trial of labor after two previous cesarean sections (TOLAC‐2) at term with no labor induction or augmentation resulted in a 55.6% success rate for vaginal births, without an increase in maternal or neonatal morbidity and mortality. Abstract Introduction The global cesarean section (CS) rate has increased to 21.1% between 1990 and 2018.

Molecular Testing in Sickle Cell Disease: From Newborn Screening to Transfusion Care

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most frequent monogenic diseases worldwide and a highly heterogeneous and complex disease. SCD care carries several challenges. This includes early and accurate diagnosis as well as optimal red blood cell transfusion matching in this population carrying a high risk of alloimmunization.

Identification and follow-up of pregnant women with platelet-type human platelet antigen (HPA)-1bb alloimmunized with fetal HPA-1a

Archives of Medical Science, 2016
Introduction : Pregnant women negative for human platelet antigen 1 a (HPA-1a) are at risk of alloimmunization with fetal HPA-1a antigen inherited from the father, and their offspring may develop fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT ...

ACMG/AMP‐Based Variant Classification of a Novel HBA2 Variant (HBA2: C.297del, Hb Taiping) in Compound Heterozygosity With Hb Adana (HBA2:C.179G>A) Causing Non‐Deletional Hb H Disease

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Accurate classification of novel globin gene variants is critical for the diagnosis and management of thalassaemia. The adaptation of ACMG/AMP guidelines for globin genes represents an important step toward standardising variant interpretation and enhancing clinical utility in the field.
