Improving the Positive Predictive Value of Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
We evaluated performance characteristics of a laboratory-developed, non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) assay for fetal aneuploidies. This assay employs massively parallel shotgun sequencing with full automation.

DNA sequencing of maternal plasma reliably identifies trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 as well as Down syndrome: an international collaborative study

Genetics in Medicine, 2012
Purpose:To determine whether maternal plasma cell–free DNA sequencing can effectively identify trisomy 18 and 13.Methods:Sixty-two pregnancies with trisomy 18 and 12 with trisomy 13 were selected from a cohort of 4,664 pregnancies along with matched ...

Homozygous Achondroplasia With Long‐Term Survival: Growth Patterns, Medical Interventions, and Practice Implications

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Homozygous achondroplasia is widely considered perinatal lethal by the medical community. In this case series, we report two children from a single family with longer‐term survival. One child lived for 17 months and the other was 60 months at the time of publication.

Facilitating Genetic Testing for Perinatal Demise: Development of a Multidisciplinary Workflow

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic contributors to perinatal demise are common but frequently undiagnosed due to clinical and logistical barriers. We aimed to improve access to genetic for intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), stillbirth, and early neonatal death by developing a multidisciplinary workflow.

Molecular characterization of the A52 murine hepatocellular carcinoma cell line

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a poor outcome cancer with limited therapeutic choices. To advance therapeutic development we genetically characterized the A52 murine HCC cell line. We noted genetic changes that match a subset of human HCC and this offers the opportunity to test novel targeted therapies in syngeneic mice.

Trisomy 21 and Down syndrome: a short review

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Even though the molecular mechanisms underlying the Down syndrome (DS) phenotypes remain obscure, the characterization of the genes and conserved non-genic sequences of HSA21 together with large-scale gene expression studies in DS tissues are enhancing ...

Genetic testing for familial epilepsies: Diagnostic yield and genetic findings

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic testing has become a routine part of clinical epilepsy care. Family history is an indication for genetic testing, but the diagnostic yield, predictors of a genetic diagnosis, and association with familial patterns are not well understood.

The association between IVF and chromosomal abnormalities compared to spontaneous conception

Journal of Biochemical and Clinical Genetics, 2021
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which an egg is extracted by needle aspiration and then combined with a sperm so that fertilization can occur outside the body. Genetic defects, such as chromosomal abnormalities, are considered rare among the

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

Translating Dosage Compensation to Trisomy 21

Nature, 2013
Down’s syndrome is a common disorder with enormous medical and social costs, caused by trisomy for chromosome 21. We tested the concept that gene imbalance across an extra chromosome can be de facto corrected by manipulating a single gene, XIST (the X ...
