Global Delivery of Foetal Sequencing: Do We Need Some Standardisation?
ABSTRACT Objective The development of sequencing technologies has resulted in rapid expansion in the testing available for foetuses with structural anomalies to diagnose monogenic disorders. To understand the variability in how foetal sequencing services are delivered, we developed a survey that focussed on the scope of testing, any parallel testing ...

ABSTRACT Objective This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to assess the diagnostic yield of pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) single nucleotide variants (SNVs) using whole genome sequencing (WGS) in congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods A systematic search of three databases (2000–2024) was conducted, and two reviewers independently ...

ISPD gene mutations are a common cause of congenital and limb-girdle muscular dystrophies [PDF]
Dystroglycanopathies are a clinically and genetically diverse group of recessively inherited conditions ranging from the most severe of the congenital muscular dystrophies, Walker-Warburg syndrome, to mild forms of adult-onset limb-girdle muscular ...

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Spinal Dysraphism: A Retrospective Analysis of 150 Fetal Cases
ABSTRACT Objective Spinal dysraphism (SD) results from incomplete neural tube closure and encompasses a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies with genetic and environmental etiologies. Although genetic contributions are recognized, causative variants remain insufficiently defined, and the clinical implications of extended genetic testing on ...

Diagnosed After Birth—But Detectable Before? A Cohort Study of Prenatal Testing Potential
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the yield of prenatal genetic testing in infants with a confirmed genetic diagnosis. Methods We retrospectively reviewed records of infants with a genetic diagnosis who were evaluated using a standardized genetic consult and testing approach. The predicted yield of various prenatal genetic sceening and diagnostic tools in

160 kb deletion in ISPD unmasking a recessive mutation in a patient with Walker–Warburg syndrome
Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) is a severe muscular dystrophy with eye and brain malformations. On a molecular level, WWS is a disorder of the O-linked glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan and therefore referred to as one of the dystroglycanopathies.

An Effective Routability-driven Placer for Mixed-size Circuit Designs [PDF]
We propose a routability-driven analytical placer that aims at distributing pins evenly. This is accomplished by including a group of pin density constraints in its mathematical formulation.
