As the field of neurogenetics is expanding rapidly and variant classification criteria evolve, genetic variants in databases are re-evaluated overtime allowing updated classifications of pathogenicity predication. When caring for patients with genetic disorders, it is important to obtain the original genetic report and also consider an updated reanalysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if using a HemoCue hemoglobinometer during cordocentesis gives quicker results compared to traditional complete blood count (CBC) tests, which can take longer and impact procedure length.
- Conducted from 2016 to 2018 with 45 fetal samples, the research found that HemoCue provided hemoglobin results about 4 minutes faster than CBC.
- The results from HemoCue and traditional CBC were found to be highly correlated, indicating that HemoCue is both faster and accurate for assessing fetal hemoglobin levels during the procedure.
Objective: The reported incidence of combined twin delivery (vaginal delivery of twin A followed by cesarean delivery for twin B) ranges between 5% and 10%. These estimates are based mostly on small studies or retrospective data. We aimed to evaluate to incidence and risk factors for and outcomes of combined twin deliveries, using a subanalysis of the Twin Birth Study, a randomized, controlled, prospective study.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Patients were analyzed in two groups according to whether they received NSAIDs postpartum.
Background: Gestational alloimmune liver disease, a form of profound liver failure in the newborn, is the main underlying cause of the entity formerly known as neonatal hemochromatosis. Antepartum maternal intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been shown to prevent gestational alloimmune liver disease, which otherwise has a recurrence risk above 90% in subsequent pregnancies.
Case: A 30-year-old woman, gravida 3 para 0120, presented early in gestation.
