Article Synopsis
  • - Various soft markers identified in fetal ultrasounds may indicate potential chromosomal abnormalities, but some can also be normal variations that resolve over time in pregnancy.
  • - A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of these ultrasonic soft markers in diagnosing chromosomal issues like Trisomy 21 and 18, by reviewing 10 relevant studies published before August 2023, which included over 18,500 cases.
  • - Results showed that Trisomy 21 and 18 were the most frequently linked to these soft markers, along with other chromosomal abnormalities, and indicated a higher chance of pathogenic copy number variations in fetuses with multiple soft markers present.
