INVITED COMMENTARY: CURRENT ISSUES IN OBSTETRICS AND GENETICS Gastroschisis—an overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gastroschisis is an increasingly common malformation with unique fetal complications. Although it is usually an isolated defect, gastroschisis has a significant mortality rate of 5–10%. Complications include bowel damage, but growth retardation, oligohydramnios and fetal distress in labour are also common. There have been recent data that may help explain some of these observations, which will be reviewed in this article.

Multiple Inherited Thrombophilic Gene Polymorphisms in Spontaneous Abortions in Turkish Population
The aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of multiple inherited thrombophilic gene variations in women with unexplained spontaneous abortions. For this purpose, the Factor V Leiden (FVL) (rs6025), Prothrombin G20210A (rs1799963), MTHFR C677T (rs1801133), PAI-1 4G/5G (rs1799889), ACE I/D (rs1799752), eNOS E298D (rs1799983), and Apo E E2/E3/E4 (rs429358) polymorphisms were genoty...
متن کاملPulmonary Metastatic Choriocarcinoma in a Patient with Ectopic Pregnancy
Gestational trophoblastic tumor (GTT) most commonly follows a molar pregnancy. In fact, it can occur following gestational events such as induced or spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy, and term pregnancy. In this study, we present the case of a patient with ectopic pregnancy who was treated with a single dose of methotrexate (MTX). The maximum titer of beta subunit of human chorionic gonad...

Background and Objective: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues are a valuable source of DNA for molecular studies. We designed and optimized an efficient procedure for DNA extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues. Materials and Methods: Seventy three blocks of cervical paraffin-embedded tissues were investigated. DNA was extracted using 45 minutes boiling in alkaline sol...
