Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is the most common genetic cause of osteoporosis, which presents as multiple fractures of bone. Mutations in the loci COL1A1 on band 17q21 and COL1A2 on band 7q22 have been reported as the cause in most cases of OI, but partial trisomy 15 has not been reported previously as a possible cause. A 3-month-old child with OI with an unusual association of partial trisomy 15 is reported.

Impact of a new image enhancement technology on the nuchal translucency thickness.
Arch Gynecol Obstet
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University Hospital Tübingen, University of Tübingen, Calwerstrasse 7, 72076, Tübingen, Germany.
Objective: To examine the impact of a new image enhancement technique on the distribution of NT measurements.
Methods: In this retrospective study, nuchal translucency (NT) images that were taken with the GE Voluson E22 ultrasound machine between May and September 2024 were collected. One operator took manual and automated NT measurements in an NT image without radiant enhancement mode followed by automated measurements in NT images with minimum, medium and maximum radiant mode.
Making Sense of a Prenatal Detection of Trisomy 16 Mosaicism in the Placenta: A Qualitative Study of Pregnant Women's Decision Making.
Prenat Diagn
January 2025
Department of Clinical Medicine, Center for Fetal Diagnostics, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.
Objective: Prenatal detection of Trisomy 16 mosaicism (MosT16) in a Chorionic Villus Sample (CVS) results may cause significant anxiety for expectant parents due to the risk of fetal malformation and fetal growth restriction (FGR). The aim of this study was to investigate the experiences and decision-making of women receiving a MosT16 results during pregnancy.
Methods: In-depth, semi-structured interviews with eight Danish women who received a MosT16 CVS results.

The widespread use of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has turned prenatal diagnostics for chromosomal abnormalities from the exception to the rule. A common finding is the suspicion of trisomy 21 in the fetus, which should result in the offer of multidisciplinary counseling. The significance of this for decision-making by the pregnant woman has not yet been investigated.

Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the feasibility of surgical closure of ventricular septal defect in children with trisomy 18 by assessing perioperative events and long-term survival.
Methods: From April 2008 to March 2024, 41 consecutive patients were referred to us for ventricular septal defect surgery. The defect was closed in 35 patients at the end (median age, 16 months; median body weight, 5.
Imaging Flow Cytometric Identification of Chromosomal Defects in Paediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.

January 2025
School of Biomedical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia.
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is the most common childhood malignancy that remains a leading cause of death in childhood. It may be characterised by multiple known recurrent genetic aberrations that inform prognosis, the most common being hyperdiploidy and t(12;21) . We aimed to assess the applicability of a new imaging flow cytometry methodology that incorporates cell morphology, immunophenotype, and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) to identify aneuploidy of chromosomes 4 and 21 and the translocation .
