In the early 20th century, numerous in-vitro studies, animal studies, epidemiological studies, and human trials have attempted to demonstrate the interrelationship between pregnancy outcomes and maternal periodontal disease. This review aims to shed light on the unexplored connections between pregnancy outcomes and maternal periodontal diseases. A literature search was conducted using electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Embase.

Paternal alcohol use is emerging as a plausible driver of alcohol-related growth and patterning defects. Studies from our lab using an inbred C57Bl/6 J mouse model suggest that these paternally-inherited phenotypes result from paternally programmed deficits in the formation and function of the placenta. The 129S1/SvImJ genetic background is typically more susceptible to fetoplacental growth defects due to strain-specific differences in placental morphology.

Background: Despite recent advances in prenatal genetic diagnosis, medical geneticists still face considerable difficulty in interpreting the clinical outcome of copy-number-variant duplications and defining the mechanisms underlying the formation of certain chromosomal rearrangements. Optical genome mapping (OGM) is an emerging cytogenomic tool with proved ability to identify the full spectrum of cytogenetic aberrations.
Methods: Here, we report on the use of OGM in a prenatal diagnosis setting.
SHFM (Split Hand/Foot Malformation) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the presence of clefts in the hands and feet, along with syndactyly of the digits. In this article, we describe a family in which two members exhibit characteristic developmental abnormalities associated with SHFM, presenting with variable clinical features. Using whole-genome sequencing, we identified a microduplication of a chromosomal segment on locus 10q24.
