Detection rates of abnormalities in over 10,000 amniotic fluid samples at a single laboratory
Background A growing number of cytogenetic techniques have been used for prenatal diagnosis. This study aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of karyotyping, BACs-on-Beads (BoBs) assay and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array in prenatal diagnosis ...

Early life factors and risk of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma. [PDF]
Although little is known about etiology of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), early life factors are suspected in the etiology. We explored this hypothesis using linked data from the California Cancer Registry and the California birth rolls.
