Introduction: The transverse septum of the vagina or vaginal septum is a rare abnormality of the female genital tract. The most frequently advanced etiology is a defect in the fusion and/or channelling of the urogenital sinus and Mullerian conductors. This structural obstruction can completely obstruct the vagina and thus can cause a haematocolpos associated with cyclic pelvic pain shortly after menarche in adolescent girls.

Placenta accreta spectrum disorders is a rare pathology but the incidence has not stopped to increase in recent years. The purpose of our work was the analysis of the epidemiological profile of our patients, the circumstances of diagnosis, the interest of paraclinical explorations in antenatal diagnosis and the evaluation of the evolutionary profile. We hereby report a case series spread over a period of one year from 01/01/2015 to 01/01/2016 at the Gynaecology-Obstetrics department of the University Hospital Center IBN SINA of Rabat where we identified six cases of placenta accreta.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effects of the c.1392G>T CFTR mutation found in a cystic fibrosis (CF) patient, focusing on how this mutation alters gene splicing and protein functionality.
  • Various experiments, including minigene studies and analyses of nasal cell mRNA, reveal that the mutation leads to complete deletion of exon 10 and a frameshift transcript, worsening the impact of a nearby TG(11)T(5) polymorphism.
  • Findings show that the resulting p.Lys464Asn protein lacks maturation and proper localization, leading to absent CFTR activity and demonstrating the need for thorough analysis of complex CFTR mutations for accurate classification and treatment strategies.
