Identifying Differentially Methylated Sites for Methylation-Sensitive qPCR-based NIPT of Trisomies 13 and 18 [PDF]
Background: Trisomies 13 and 18 are severe chromosomal disorders with high neonatal mortality rates. Noninvasive prenatal testing based on next-generation sequencing provides accurate detection of these aneuploidies but remains costly.

Performance of screening for aneuploidies by cell-free DNA analysis of maternal blood in twin pregnancies [PDF]
Objectives To report clinical implementation of cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) analysis of maternal blood in screening for trisomies 21, 18 and 13 in twin pregnancies and examine variables that could influence the failure rate of the test.

Clinical findings associated with a de novo partial trisomy 10p11.22p15.3 and monosomy 7p22.3 detected by chromosomal microarray analysis. [PDF]
We present the case of an 18-month-old boy with dysmorphic facial features, developmental delay, growth retardation, bilateral clubfeet, thrombocytopenia, and strabismus, whose array CGH analysis revealed concurrent de novo trisomy 10p11.22p15.3 and ...

Development of a comprehensive noninvasive prenatal test
Our aim was to develop and apply a comprehensive noninvasive prenatal test (NIPT) by using high-coverage targeted next-generation sequencing to estimate fetal fraction, determine fetal sex, and detect trisomy and monogenic disease without parental ...

Prenatal Diagnosis of Umbilical Artery Aneurysm with Good Fetal Outcome and Review of Literature [PDF]
Umbilical artery aneurysm is a rare condition. Till date, 14 cases are reported and only 4 had good fetal outcome. Umbilical artery aneurysm is associated with high risk of fetal aneuploidy and fetal demise.

Leukemia-related chromosomal loss detected in hematopoietic progenitor cells of benzene-exposed workers. [PDF]
Benzene exposure causes acute myeloid leukemia and hematotoxicity, shown as suppression of mature blood and myeloid progenitor cell numbers. As the leukemia-related aneuploidies monosomy 7 and trisomy 8 previously had been detected in the mature ...

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT): Reliability, Challenges, and Future Directions
Non-invasive prenatal testing was first discovered in 1988; it was primarily thought to be able to detect common aneuploidies, such as Patau syndrome (T13), Edward Syndrome (T18), and Down syndrome (T21).
