Prognostic value of fetal growth and prenatal functional echocardiography in tetralogy of FALLOT
First demonstration that fetal growth and pulmonary peak velocity at third trimester are independent predictors of postnatal outcome in Tetralogy of Fallot. This may enhance the accuracy of prenatal counseling and facilitate more individualized planning for delivery and neonatal care. Abstract Introduction Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) shows variability in

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 ...
