Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is an option for couples who are at risk that enables them to have unaffected progeny without facing the risk of pregnancy termination after prenatal diagnosis as currently practiced. It is also one of the practical tools used in assisted reproduction technology to improve the chance of conception for infertility cases with poor prognosis. Because PGD is performed using a single biopsied cell, technological advances are important to improving PGD accuracy. This has contributed to the avoidance of misdiagnosis in PGD for single gene disorders, and extensive experience in PGD for chromosomal disorders suggests strategies for more reliable evaluation of the chromosomal status of the preimplantation embryo. This paper describes the present status of PGD for genetic and chromosomal disorders, its accuracy and range, and how PGD is an integral part of IVF and genetic practices.

Maternal and Fetal Complications in Pregnant Women with Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Literature Review and Two Case Reports.

"Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 020021 Bucharest, Romania.
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder arising de novo or with an autosomal dominant transmission that typically presents either at birth or in early childhood, manifesting through distinctive clinical features such as multiple café-au-lait spots, benign tumors in the skin, bone enlargement, and deformities. This literature review aims to resume the spectrum of maternal and fetal complications encountered in pregnant women with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Thorough research was conducted on databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Wiley Online Library.

Understanding mammalian preimplantation development, particularly in humans, at the proteomic level remains limited. Here, we applied our comprehensive solution of ultrasensitive proteomic technology to measure the proteomic profiles of oocytes and early embryos and identified nearly 8,000 proteins in humans and over 6,300 proteins in mice. We observed distinct proteomic dynamics before and around zygotic genome activation (ZGA) between the two species.

University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia, VIC.
Purpose: Professional bodies currently advise all pregnant individuals undertake confirmatory prenatal diagnostic testing following preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic conditions (PGT-M). We aimed to ascertain the uptake of prenatal diagnostic testing following PGT-M in a large single-centre population.
Methods: This observational linkage study was undertaken using routinely collected outcome data from PGT-M cycles performed at one of Australia's largest PGT-M providers and a statewide dataset of all prenatal samples undergoing cytogenetic analysis in Victoria, Australia, between 2015 and 2022.

Waardenburg syndrome type 2 (WS2) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by congenital sensorineural hearing loss, blue iris, and abnormal pigmentation of the hair and skin. WS2 is genetically heterogeneous, often resulting from pathogenic mutations in SOX10 gene. We identified a novel heterozygous frameshift mutation in SOX10 (NM_006941.
