Prenatal diagnosis and perinatal outcomes of fetuses with congenital duodenal obstruction: A nine‐year retrospective study from China

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
A retrospective study of 98 fetuses with congenital duodenal obstruction (CDO) revealed an overall genetic abnormality rate of 20.4%, with trisomy 21 being the predominant chromosomal anomaly. Comprehensive prenatal diagnostic testing is recommended for fetuses with suspected congenital duodenal obstruction, as the genetic findings exert substantial ...

Fetal Fraction Signatures: A Quality Control Tool to Detect Potentially Confounding Situations in NonInvasive Prenatal Diagnosis of Monogenic Conditions

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis for monogenic diseases (NIPD‐M) to detect inherited mutations is performed in parallel with fetal fraction signatures, to detect various anomalies that may compromise diagnosis. An extra regression analysis may be necessary to resolve mosaic situations. ABSTRACT Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis relies on the analysis of the

New molecular tools for prenatal diagnosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Prenatal diagnosis enables identification of severe disease in the fetus, and allows for planning and management of future pregnancies if an underlying genetic mechanism is identified.

Direct to consumer testing in reproductive contexts--should health professionals be concerned? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Direct to consumer genetic testing offered via the Internet has been available for over a decade. Initially most tests of this type were offered without the input of the consumer's own health professional.

The role of patient-reported experiences in disclosing genetic prenatal testing: Findings from a large-scale survey on pregnant women

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology: X
Introduction: Pregnant women can choose from different prenatal genetic tests throughout their maternity journey. We aim to investigate the clinical, societal, and economic determinants influencing the selection of different options (non-invasive ...

What proportion of couples with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss and with a balanced rearrangement in one parent can potentially be identified through cell-free DNA genotyping?

open access: yesMolecular Cytogenetics, 2023
Background Balanced chromosome aberrations are reported in about 1:30 couples with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Karyotyping of both parents is necessary to identify these aberrations.

Genetic Diagnoses Among Congenital Anomaly Cases in Europe: Data From the EUROCAT Network

open access: yesPaediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Surveillance of congenital anomaly prevalence over time can identify new teratogens. Anomalies with a genetic cause are excluded from the monitoring. Objectives We examined temporal changes in the proportion of genetic diagnoses among cases with a congenital anomaly.
