Molecular diagnostics of calcineurin-related pathologies.

BACKGROUND The Ca(2+)-dependent protein phosphatase enzyme calcineurin (Cn) (protein phosphatase 3) is best known for its role as director of the adaptive immune response. One of its principal substrates is the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), which translocates to the nucleus after dephosphorylation to mediate gene transcription. Drugs targeting Cn (the Cn inhibitors tacrolimus and ...

Impact of prenatal magnetic resonance imaging on postnatal neurosurgical treatment.

OBJECT The goal of this study was to determine the importance magnetic resonance (MR) imaging holds as a complementary fetal imaging modality to ultrasonography in deciding postnatal neurosurgical management. METHODS Between 1999 and 2003, 320 fetal MR imaging studies were performed at a single institution. Twenty-four fetuses were found to have central nervous system abnormalities that could...

Ultrasound-Guided Invasive Procedures in Genetic Prenatal Diagnostics

There is a wide range of noninvasive screening methods that aim to identify the subgroup of fetuses that are in a high risk of chromosomal defects. Invasive procedures should be offered to women in the high-risk group identified with the highest possible detection rate and the lowest false-positive rate. The method of choice at 11 + 0 13 + 6 weeks is chorionic villus sampling. An early amniocen...

A Micromachined Sparse-Cell Isolation Device: Application in Prenatal Diagnostics

Fetal cells can be isolated using several enrichment methods, however, since no technique to specifically isolate and use them for genetic diagnosis has reached clinical practice, prenatal diagnosis currently requires invasive procedures. A micromachined device to fractionate whole blood using physical means to enrich for and/or isolate rare cell types from peripheral circulation was designed. ...
