Article Synopsis
- * Objectives: The study aimed to investigate genetic variants in two deceased neonates exhibiting uncommon OCA1 traits and to explore how TKFC variants might contribute to broader health issues.
- * Results: Genetic analysis confirmed harmful variants in both TYR and TKFC genes in the affected neonates and suggested that these variants could disrupt normal biological functions, leading to severe health problems.
Objective: To assess the accuracy of middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) in prediction of severe fetal anemia resulting from Red Cell Alloimmunization (Anti-D) in un-transfused and transfused fetuses. In addition to comparing the accuracy of MCA-PSV and the estimation of the daily decline of fetal hemoglobin (Hb), to determine the appropriate time of subsequent transfusions.
Study Design: This was a retrospective study of a series of 84 anaemic fetuses due to Red Cell alloimmunization.
