Abortion for Fetal Genetic Abnormalities: Type of Abnormality and Gestational Age at Diagnosis

American Journal of Perinatology Reports, 2020
Background Advances in genetic screening can identify patients at high risk for common genetic conditions early in pregnancy and can facilitate early diagnosis and early abortion. Less common abnormalities might only be diagnosed with invasive testing is

Prenatal Evaluation of RNU4‐2 Variants in Fetuses With Central Nervous System Anomalies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are among the most common congenital malformations, yet the overall prenatal diagnostic yield of current genetic testing remains below 40%. Variants in RNU4‐2, a non‐coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), have recently been linked to a novel highly recurrent dominant ...

Placental Structure in Preterm Birth Among HIV-Positive Versus HIV-Negative Women in Kenya. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundPreterm birth (PTB) is a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Recent data suggest that in addition to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) increases the risk of PTB.
