Diagnostic Yield of Sequencing for Prenatal Diagnosis of Fetal Structural Anomalies: An Updated Systematic Review

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
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.

The Clinical Utility of Sequence‐Based Genetic Testing for Fetal Edema Following Non‐Diagnostic Microarray Results: A Population‐Based Cohort Study

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Ultrasound findings of fetal edema may provide early evidence of a genetic disorder. Our objective was to evaluate the frequency and diagnostic yield of sequencing in a selected population after a non‐diagnostic microarray result for fetal edema.

Fetal cardiac remodeling in second trimester in pregnancies with pre‐eclampsia and/or fetal growth restriction: deep‐learning‐based approach using population‐wide data

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Pre‐eclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) have been shown to impact fetal cardiac remodeling in the third trimester and postnatally, with evidence to suggest that this leads to increased long‐term cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to examine fetal cardiac remodeling in pregnancies with PE and/or FGR during the second ...

AMHR2 mutation in persistent Müllerian duct syndrome: A case of transverse testicular ectopia

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Backgroud Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare condition characterized by the persistence of Müllerian duct structures in genotypic and phenotypic males. Case Presentation We present the case of a 4‐month‐old male with PMDS who presented with transverse testicular ectopia. The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopic orchiopexy

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

DsiRNA‐mediated silencing of Ceratitis capitata transformer or transformer‐2 leads to masculinization of XX embryos and systemic gene silencing in ovaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We carried out functional studies using Dicer‐substrate small interfering RNAs (DsiRNAs), targeting the sex determination genes Cctransformer (Cctra) and Cctransformer‐2 (Cctra‐2) in the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata). Microinjection of DsiRNAs into XX embryos (0‐1 h old) rapidly triggered the expression of male‐specific Cctra isoforms ...

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Detection of sex chromosomes in Tephritid pests using R‐CQ and KAMY, two computational methods to support generic pest management applications

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Here, we present R‐CQ and KAMY, two computational methods developed for the detection of sex chromosome‐linked sequences. We evaluate their performance on newly generated chromosome‐level assemblies of four important Tephritid pest species: Ceratitis capitata, Bactrocera dorsalis, Bactrocera zonata, and Anastrepha ludens.
