چکیده

Citrullinemia type 1 was diagnosed by tandem mass spectrometry in a full term male neonate who presented with an acute catastrophic collapse on the 3rd day of life. Both parents were identified to be carriers for the exon 15 p Gly390Arg mutation in the argininosuccinate synthetase gene located at chromosome 9q34.1. Chorionic villus sampling and prenatal genetic testing in the subsequent pregnancy revealed an affected fetus resulting in termination of pregnancy.

First applications of a targeted exome sequencing approach in fetuses with ultrasound abnormalities reveals an important fraction of cases with associated gene defects

Background. Fetal malformations and other structural abnormalities are relatively frequent findings in the course of routine prenatal ultrasonographic examination. Due to their considerable genetic and clinical heterogeneity, the underlying genetic cause is often elusive and the resulting inability to provide a precise diagnosis precludes proper reproductive and fetal risk assessment. We report...

Prenatal Diagnosis of Short Rib-Polydactyly Type II by Ultrasound in Three Consecutive Pregnancies.

Short rib–polydactyly syndrome (SRPS) type II is a rare lethal form of skeletal dysplasia, characterized by polydactyly, short limbs, short and horizontal ribs, a small ovoid tibia and major organ anomalies [1]. Prenatal diagnosis by genetic testing is not available; ultrasound plays an important role. With no prior history usually these cases are detected late in pregnancy; postnatal examinati...

The first successful live birth following preimplantation genetic diagnosis using PCR for type 1 citrullinemia

Type 1 citrullinemia (CTLN1) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by anargininosuccinicnate synthetase deficiency. The patient was a 38-year-old Korean woman who is a carrier for CTLN1 and her first baby was diagnosed with CTLN1. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for CTLN1 in day 3 embryos using polymerase chain reaction was performed for live birth of healthy bab...
