Feasibility of Imaging the Uvula at the Midtrimester Anomaly Ultrasound

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The fetal palate is not routinely imaged as part of the midtrimester fetal anomaly ultrasound, despite being associated with many syndromes. The “equal sign” depicts the lateral borders of the uvula on 2‐dimensional fetal ultrasound. We assessed the feasibility of adding the equal sign to the midtrimester fetal anomaly ultrasound.

Large-scale Oscillation of Structure-Related DNA Sequence Features in Human Chromosome 21

, 2006
Human chromosome 21 is the only chromosome in human genome that exhibits oscillation of (G+C)-content of cycle length of hundreds kilobases (500 kb near the right telomere). We aim at establishing the existence of similar periodicity in structure-related

Array comparative genomic hybridization and flow cytometry analysis of spontaneous abortions and mors in utero samples [PDF]

, 2009
Background: It is estimated that 10-15% of all clinically recognised pregnancies result in a spontaneous abortion or miscarriage. Previous studies have indicated that in up to 50% of first trimester miscarriages, chromosomal abnormalities can be ...

Clinical Utility of Nuchal Translucency Measurement in First‐Trimester Ultrasound Screening in a Setting With First‐Tier NIPT for Aneuploidy Screening

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the additional clinical value of nuchal translucency (NT) measurement at the first‐trimester anomaly scan (FTAS) in a setting with first‐tier non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Method This nationwide prospective cohort study, part of the IMITAS study on FTAS implementation, included all pregnancies with increased NT

CUL3‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder: Expanding the Prenatal Phenotype

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants of the CUL3 gene are known to cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with a partially described prenatal phenotype. This study further characterizes and expands the spectrum of prenatal sonographic findings associated with the disorder to improve prenatal diagnosis and counseling.

Chromosomal rearrangements as the cause of habitual abortions [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2007
Introduction Habitual abortion is a spontaneous abortion occurring in three or more successive pregnancies with no intervening pregnancies. Chromosomal aberrations account for approximately 50% of fetal losses prior to 15 weeks. Objective The aim of this

Impact of Maternal Body Mass Index (BMI) on the Performance of Non‐Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is widely used to screen for common fetal trisomies. Fetal fraction (FF), essential for NIPT accuracy, can be influenced by maternal obesity. This study analyzes NIPT results by obesity status and suggests strategies to improve performance. Method This observational retrospective study evaluated FF,

Rapid metaphase and interphase detection of radiation-induced chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes by chromosomal suppression in situ hybridization [PDF]

, 1990
Chromosomal in situ suppression (CISS)-hybridization of biotinylated phage DNA-library inserts from sorted human chromosomes was used to decorate chromosomes 1 and 7 specifically from pter to qter and to detect structural aberrations of these chromosomes

Neuroimaging Findings and Risk Factors for Brain Injury in Foetuses Treated for Anaemia

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Characterize neuroimaging findings in foetuses with anaemia and identify associated risk factors. Methods Retrospective cohort study of pregnancies with foetal anaemia (defined as haemoglobin > 2 standard deviations below the gestational age mean) confirmed by foetal blood sampling (FBS) and treated with intrauterine transfusion (IUT)

Lymphotoxin is an autocrine growth factor for Epstein-Barr virus-infected B cell lines. [PDF]

, 1993
Because human lymphotoxin (LT) was originally isolated from a lymphoblastoid cell line, we investigated the role of this molecule in three newly established Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected human B cell lines.
