Prenatal Diagnosis of Ductus Arteriosus Anomalies: A Single-Center Study
AbstractTo evaluate the fetal ductus arteriosus anomalies diagnosed by fetal echocardiography. The perinatal outcomes and associated cardiac and genetic anomalies are also explored. The fetal echocardiography records of 2366 fetuses were evaluated retrospectively. Thirty-seven pregnancies prenatally diagnosed with ductus arteriosus anomalies and evaluated after delivery were enrolled in the study. Perinatal and obstetric outcomes were analyzed. The incidence of ductus arteriosus anomaly in our series was 1.5% (37/2366). The most frequent ductus arteriosus anomaly detected was right-sided ductus arteriosus followed by aneur...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 2212: Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Caused by an Intragenic Heterozygous Deletion in RAD21 Detected through Very-High-Resolution Chromosomal Microarray Analysis
In this report, we present a 13-year-old female patient with microcephaly, cleft palate, polydactyly, short stature, triangular facies, frontal bossing, a bulbous nose, an overfolded helix, limited pronosupination, and an anomalous uterus. No neurodevelopmental disorders were reported. A chromosomal microarray analysis of 6.5 million markers was performed in the proband and her parents. The results showed a de novo heterozygous microdeletion of exons 9–14 within RAD21, which confirmed the diagnosis of Cornelia de Lange syndrome type 4. Our patient did not show any neurologic phenotype (until the time of diagn...

Prenatal diagnosis of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 9 with a 10.05-Mb microdeletion at Xq21.31q22.1 inherited from mother: A case report and literature review
CONCLUSION: In this case study, we have not only identified the epilepsy type of the woman as DEE9 but have also made an unfavorable prognosis for her fetus. Our findings from this prenatal case provide valuable clinical resources for prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling, while also implying the potential of CNV-seq as a viable method for uncovering PCDH19-related epilepsy.PMID:38083988 | DOI:10.1002/mgg3.2338 (Source: Molecular Medicine)
