ABSTRACT FOXA2 (hepatocyte nuclear factor‐3β, HNF‐3β) encodes a transcriptional activator involved in early embryogenesis, particularly in the patterning and differentiation of midline structures such as the neural tube, foregut, and pituitary gland. Its role in human pathogenesis was first suspected when patients with deletion of chromosome 20p11.2 ...

Trisomy 13 syndrome is a lethal chromosomal disorder characterized by severe congenital anomalies. We report a case of trisomy 13 syndrome with semilobar holoprosencephaly, cyclopia, proboscis, omphalocele, and an absent nasal bone, prenatally diagnosed ...

Facilitating Genetic Testing for Perinatal Demise: Development of a Multidisciplinary Workflow
ABSTRACT Genetic contributors to perinatal demise are common but frequently undiagnosed due to clinical and logistical barriers. We aimed to improve access to genetic for intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), stillbirth, and early neonatal death by developing a multidisciplinary workflow.

Introduction: Holoprosencephaly is a rare brain malformation caused by the failure of the prosencephalon to divide into separate cerebral hemispheres. Alobar holoprosencephaly, the most severe form, presents with a monoventricle, lack of interhemispheric

ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Molecular Genetics of Holoprosencephaly [PDF]
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a common developmental defect of the human forebrain and midface. Pathological studies have identified different categories of severity of the brain and craniofacial malformations observed in HPE, although the variable clinical spectrum of HPE extends in unbroken sequence from alobar HPE and cyclopia to clinically unaffected ...

Regulation of PHOX2B gene expression by the long non‐coding natural antisense RNA PHOX2B‐AS1
PHOX2B is a transcription factor essential for autonomic nervous system development. We identify and characterize PHOX2B‐AS1, a human long non‐coding antisense transcript at the PHOX2B locus, along with its murine counterpart. Our findings reveal bidirectional transcription and reciprocal regulation: PHOX2B activates PHOX2B‐AS1, whereas PHOX2B‐AS1 ...

ABSTRACT The clinical utility of sequencing in prenatal diagnosis is known, but diagnostic yield varies widely depending on clinical indication. Here we update an earlier systematic review reporting the diagnostic yield of prenatal sequencing in structurally abnormal fetuses, with particular focus on factors affecting diagnostic yield.
