A Population‐Based Study of Limb Body Wall Complex With Proposed Features for Prenatal Diagnosis
ABSTRACT Limb body wall complex (LBWC) is a lethal condition comprising major congenital anomalies. Although currently diagnosed in the early prenatal period, historical diagnostic criteria are based on detailed pathological assessments. Prenatal and postnatal findings of LBWC and their phenotypic overlap with body stalk anomaly (BSA) and recurrent ...

Profiling of testis-specific long noncoding RNAs in mice
Background Spermatogenesis, which is the complex and highly regulated process of producing haploid spermatozoa, involves testis-specific transcripts. Recent studies have discovered that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are novel regulatory molecules that ...
