Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of prenatal neurosonography in diagnosing underlying causes of fetal ventriculomegaly, posterior fossa anomalies and microcephaly before 24 weeks' gestational age (GA) and to study the accuracy of prenatal counseling on postnatal prognosis.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study based on 146 cases of these fetal brain anomalies before 24 weeks' GA. Counseling on prognosis was compared with postnatal outcome.

Background: Mutations in the TNFRSF1A gene encoding the tumour necrosis factor α cell surface receptor, TNFR1, cause TNFR-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) and polymorphisms in TNFRSF1A, including rs4149570, rs767455 and rs1800692, are associated with inflammatory diseases.

Objectives: To describe a new exon 2-spliced transcript-TNFR1-d2-and the impact of these three single nucleotide polymorphisms on exon 2 splicing, transcriptional activity of TNFRSF1A and TRAPS phenotype.

Methods: Expression of TNFRSF1A transcripts was performed by reverse-transcription-PCR in a range of human cells and tissues.
