Partial Trisomy- 9q was observed in an infant with a multiple malformation syndrome who survived to 18 months. Cytogenetic investigations stimulated by the family history of similarly affected individuals revealed a translocation, t(9;16)(q32;q24), identifiable in four generations of the proband's family. A review of our cases with those reported in the literature reveals clinical similarities. This report sets forth a clinical description of the characteristic phenotype of the 9q partial Trisomy syndrome, including findings at post-mortem, documents multigeneration transmission and discusses this syndrome's clinical overlap with other malformation syndromes.

Objective: To explore the clinical significance of trisomy 7 signaled by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).

Methods: Pregnant women with high risk for trisomy 7 by NIPT from January 2017 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects, and the results of prenatal diagnosis and follow-up were analyzed. Literature related to pregnant women with a high risk for trisomy 7 by NIPT from January 2016 to July 2024 was retrieved from China Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed database.

(1) Background: Fetal chromosomal examination is a critical component of modern prenatal testing. Traditionally, maternal serum biomarkers such as free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (Free β-HCG) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPPA) have been employed for screening, achieving a detection rate of approximately 90% for fetuses with Down syndrome, albeit with a false positive rate of 5%. While amniocentesis remains the gold standard for the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities, including Down syndrome and Edwards syndrome, its invasive nature carries a significant risk of complications, such as infection, preterm labor, or miscarriage, occurring at a rate of 7 per 1000 procedures.

Prenatal Predictors and Early Postnatal Outcomes in Fetuses Diagnosed with Tricuspid Atresia.

Diagnostics (Basel)

December 2024

Zeynep Kamil Women and Children's Diseases Training and Research Hospital, Department of Perinatology, Health Science University, Istanbul 34668, Turkey.

To assess the prenatal course and early postnatal outcomes of fetuses diagnosed with tricuspid atresia and to identify predictors of survival. This was a retrospective study of 25 fetuses diagnosed with tricuspid atresia in a single tertiary referral center, evaluating prenatal echocardiographic features and postnatal outcomes. A total of 4 of 29 initially diagnosed fetuses were excluded due to changes in diagnosis or loss to follow-up, leaving 25 fetuses for analysis.

Background: Chromosomal numerical and structural alterations are significant causes of various developmental disorders in foetuses. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has emerged as an effective screening tool for detecting common aneuploidies, aiding in the identification of individuals who may require further diagnostic work-up.

Methods: This retrospective, monocentric observational study evaluates the usage patterns, test choices, turnaround times (TAT), and outcomes of NIPT between 2013 and 2023 on a sample of 2431 pregnant women at a special hospital offering outpatient services and comprehensive gynaecological/obstetric inpatient care.
