Why increased nuchal translucency is associated with congenital heart disease: a systematic review on genetic mechanisms.
This overview provides insight into the underlying genetic mechanism of the high incidence of cardiac defects in fetuses with increased nuchal translucency (NT). Nuchal edema, the morphological equivalent of increased NT, is likely to result from abnormal lymphatic development and is strongly related to cardiac defects. The underlying genetic pathways are, however, unknown. This study aims to p...
متن کاملThe Role of Nuchal Translucency in the Screening of Congenital Heart Defects
Three thousand six hundred and sixty four gestations were analyzed, of which twenty newborn infants had some congenital heart defect up to the first month of life (prevalence of 0.55%). The median NT in fetuses with CHD was 1.70 mm, and 1.60 mm in fetuses without CHD. However no statistically significant difference was observed between the two medians (Mann-Whitney test, p > 0.05). The NT sensi...
متن کاملThe role of nuchal translucency in the screening for congenital heart defects.
OBJECTIVE Assess the accuracy of the nuchal translucency (NT) measurement between 11 and 13 weeks and 6 days of gestation as a sonographic marker to screen for congenital heart defects (CHD). METHODS This is a multi-center retrospective study in which singleton gestations of euploid fetuses were analyzed. NT measurement was performed in the first trimester examination when the fetal crown-rum...

متن کاملGenetic link between renal birth defects and congenital heart disease.
Structural birth defects in the kidney and urinary tract are observed in 0.5% of live births and are a major cause of end-stage renal disease, but their genetic aetiology is not well understood. Here we analyse 135 lines of mice identified in large-scale mouse mutagenesis screen and show that 29% of mutations causing congenital heart disease (CHD) also cause renal anomalies. The renal anomalies...
