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

Single‐cell‐based non‐invasive screening for fetal pathogenic microimbalances using maternal blood: comparison with invasive prenatal diagnosis

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic or likely pathogenic copy‐number variants (p/lpCNVs) are a significant cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Current prenatal screening based on cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fails to detect the majority of microimbalances (microdeletions/microduplications), leaving a significant residual risk of undetected chromosomal ...
