چکیده

A 30‐year‐old woman, gravida 2 para 0. Her first pregnancy at 2012 was diagnosed to be dichorionic twin pregnancy and her second pregnancy at 2014 was a singleton pregnancy. After a routine ultrasound scan at 22 week’s gestation, all the fetuses were diagnosed with critical CHDs. The first fetus (male) exhibited tetralogy of Fallot, atrial septal defect, persistent left superior vena cava, and coronary sinus dilatation while the examination of the second fetus (male) revealed atrioventricular septal defect and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The third fetus (female) was also diagnosed with an atrioventricular septal defect and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The parents decided to terminate the pregnancy.

Investigation of Copy Number Variation in Children with Conotruncal Heart Defects

BACKGROUND Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most prevalent group of structural abnormalities at birth and one of the main causes of infant morbidity and mortality. Studies have shown a contribution of the copy number variation in the genesis of cardiac malformations. OBJECTIVES Investigate gene copy number variation (CNV) in children with conotruncal heart defect. METHODS Multiplex li...

Rare Copy Number Variants in Isolated Sporadic and Syndromic Atrioventricular Septal Defects

Atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs) are a frequent but not universal component of Down syndrome (DS), while AVSDs in otherwise normal individuals have no well-defined genetic basis. The contribution of copy number variation (CNV) to specific congenital heart disease (CHD) phenotypes including AVSD is unknown. We hypothesized that de novo CNVs on chromosome 21 might cause isolated sporadic A...

Microduplication of Xp22.31 and MECP2 Pathogenic Variant in a Girl with Rett Syndrome: A Case Report

Rett syndrome (RS) is a neurodevelopmental infantile disease characterized by an early normal psychomotor development followed by a regression in the acquisition of normal developmental stages. In the majority of cases, it leads to a sporadic mutation in the MECP2 gene, which is located on the X chromosome. However, this syndrome has also been associated with microdeletions, gene translocations...

CNV Analysis Using Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification in Iranian Families with Non-Syndromic Congenital Heart Defects: Early Diagnosis of Non-Syndromic Patients

Background and Aims: Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common type of congenital disability. Copy number variations (CNVs) have been found as one of the genetic etiology of non-syndromic CHD, and researchers have detected several pathogenic CNVs in patients with cardiac defects. Materials and Methods: In the present study, 70 patients with familial (20 patients) and sporadic (50 pati...

Holt-Oram Syndrome: A Rare Variant

Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...
