Diagnostic Yield of Post‐Mortem Fetal Micro‐CT for Thoracic Abnormalities

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to identify the imaging findings specifically for thoracic anomalies in 1200 Micro‐CT cases, independent of whether the abnormality contributed to the main diagnosis or cause of death. Method We analyzed 1200 Micro‐CT scans in an unselected, consecutive cohort between 2017 and 2024 to identify thoracic anomalies ...

The Sooner, the Better: Neuroprotective Strategies in Fetuses With Congenital Heart Disease

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most frequent congenital malformation at birth and is associated with neurodevelopmental impairments. Alterations in cardiovascular physiology can lead to reduced cerebral blood perfusion and oxygenation, which negatively affects brain growth and maturation.

Detection of the Heterozygous Recurrent MAX p.(Arg60Gln) Variant in Two Females Confirms and Expands the Phenotypic Spectrum of Polydactyly–Macrocephaly Syndrome

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We identified a recurrent heterozygous MAX c.179G>A:p.Arg60Gln variant in two unrelated females affected with the emerging phenotypes of MAX‐associated polydactyly‐macrocephaly syndrome. We propose that genitourinary abnormalities, including Mayer–Rokitanski–Kuster–Hauser syndrome in one individual, are an expansion of the known phenotypes associated ...
