The registry is an European, multicentre, prospective and longitudinal study which follows a cohort of children born to mothers with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). In this article we report preliminary results obtained from 138 mothers and 141 babies (three twin pregnancies). At birth, 16.3% of neonates were less than 37 weeks of gestation and 17% were low birth weight; in addition, 11.3% of neonates were small for gestational age. No cases of neonatal thrombosis were observed. During follow-up period five children showed behavioral abnormalities. A long term clinical follow-up will be necessary to evaluate the neuropsychological development of these children.

Background: The dynein cytoplasmic two heavy chain 1 (DYNC2H1) gene encodes a cytoplasmic dynein subunit. Cytoplasmic dyneins transport cargo towards the minus end of microtubules and are thus termed the "retrograde" cellular motor. Mutations in DYNC2H1 are the main causative mutations of short rib-thoracic dysplasia syndrome type III with or without polydactyly (SRTD3).

Background: Although accessing administrative data in healthcare databases may be a more time-efficient and cost-effective method of conducting surveillance, there is evidence suggesting that administrative data alone are not sufficient for population-based surveillance of congenital anomalies.
Objective: To propose recommendations to maximise the potential use of healthcare databases for surveillance of congenital anomalies based on our data linkage experiences and results from the EUROlinkCAT study.
Methods: EUROlinkCAT is a population-based cohort study of 99,416 children with anomalies born between 1995 and 2014.
