The association between IVF and chromosomal abnormalities compared to spontaneous conception
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

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

Epilepsy Phenotypic Spectrum of NUS1‐Related Disorder: A Case Series
ABSTRACT Background Epilepsy with myoclonic and atonic seizures (EMAtS), also known as Doose syndrome, accounts for 1%–2% of childhood epilepsies, and various genes have been implicated in causing this epilepsy syndrome. NUS1 encodes for Nogo‐B receptor (NgBR), which stabilizes the dehydrodolichyl‐diphosphate synthase complex in the endoplasmic ...

Chromosomal Abnormalities Associated with Neural Tube Defects (I): Full Aneuploidy
Fetuses with neural tube defects (NTDs) carry a risk of chromosomal abnormalities. The risk varies with maternal age, gestational age at diagnosis, association with other structural abnormalities, and family history of chromosome aberrations.

ABSTRACT Myelofibrosis is a myeloproliferative neoplasm with potential to transform to acute myeloid leukemia. This evolution is unpredictable and current assays lack the sensitivity and applicability needed to predict this transformation. While population‐level data utilizing comprehensive genomic profiling can identify subgroups at higher risk of ...
