Prenatal diagnosis of Chudley-McCullough syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Chudley-McCullough syndrome (CMS) is an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by a complex brain malformation and profound congenital sensorineural hearing loss. Postnatal brain imaging findings include ventriculomegaly, partial agenesis of corpus callosum, inferior cerebellar dysplasia, arachnoid cysts, and malformations of cortical development including frontal subcortical heterotopia and polymicrogyria. Prenatal diagnosis of CMS is important due to the markedly less severe neurodevelopmental prognosis compared to disorders with similar brain imaging findings. We report prenatal imaging features that help distinguish CMS from other disorders, including slit-like frontal horns, agenesis of the corpus callosum, frontal subcortical heterotopia, arachnoid cysts, and cerebellar dysplasia. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Prenatal diagnosis of Holt-Oram syndrome.

Project description:ObjectivesTo detect common congenital disorders in Holt-Oram syndrome.Case presentationWe present a case of a 32 years old primigravida pregnant woman affected by Holt-Oram syndrome referred to our institution for second trimester routine anatomy scan. The ultrasound reported a bilateral aplasia radii, slightly curved ulna and bilateral twisted hand with four digital rays. A significant enlargement of the right atrium without tricuspid regurgitation was also detected. The patient refused the amniocentesis and the postnatal evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of Holt-Oram syndrome.ConclusionsHolt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic condition. It is characterized by abnormalities in the bones of the upper limb and congenital heart malformation. The mutation can be inherited, but most cases result from a new mutation in patients without family history of the disorder.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Mucopolysaccharidosis-Plus Syndrome (MPSPS).

Project description:Mucopolysaccharidosis-plus syndrome (MPSPS) is an autosomal-recessive disorder caused by c.1492C>T (p.R498W) in the VPS33A gene. MPSPS is a severe disorder that causes a short lifespan in patients. Currently, there is no specific treatment for patients. The Yakut population is more prone to this disease than others. Diagnosing MPSPS relies on clinical manifestations, and genetic testing (GT) is used to confirm the diagnosis. In this research, we examined two pregnancy cases, one of which involved a prenatal diagnosis for MPSPS. Notably, neither pregnant woman had a known family history of the disorder. During their pregnancies, both women underwent prenatal ultrasonography, which revealed increased prenasal thickness during the second trimester. In the first case, ultrasonography indicated increased prenasal thickness in the second trimester, but a definitive diagnosis was not made at that time. The patient was eventually diagnosed with MPSPS at 11 months of age. On the contrary, in the second case, GT uncovered that the parents were carriers of MPSPS. Consequently, a placental biopsy was performed, leading to an early diagnosis of MPSPS. This study emphasizes the importance of ultrasonography findings in prenatal MPSPS diagnosis. Combining ultrasonography with GT can be a valuable approach to confirming MPSPS at an early stage, allowing for the appropriate planning of delivery methods and medical care. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach can significantly enhance the quality of life of both affected patients and their parents.

Prenatal diagnosis of Joubert syndrome: A case report.

Project description:Joubert syndrome (JS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with brain stem and cerebellar malformations. Early diagnosis through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (US) is crucial for managing this condition. This report presents a JS case diagnosed at 24 weeks of pregnancy. A 25-year-old gravida 2, para 1 woman was referred at 24 weeks' gestation for suspected posterior fossa abnormalities. Ultrasound revealed normal cerebellar hemispheres but significant abnormalities in the cerebellar vermis, including the molar tooth sign and polydactyly, suggesting JS. The fetal MRI confirmed these findings. Following specialist consultations, the patient opted to terminate the pregnancy. A stillborn female infant was delivered, and genomic DNA sequencing identified a frameshift deletion in the AHI1 gene. Early prenatal diagnosis of JS is crucial for informed pregnancy management. The combination of ultrasonography, MRI, and genomic DNA sequencing proved effective for diagnosis.

Prenatal diagnosis of congenital high airway obstruction syndrome.

Project description:Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) is a rare sequence due to a complete obstruction of the fetal airway that blocks the larynx or trachea, either intrinsic atresia or extrinsic compression (e.g., congenital neck mass). Despite the true incidence of CHAOS is unknown, an incidence of 1 per 50,000 newborns is described. If any obstruction occurs in the tracheobronchial airway, this secretion cannot be extricated. Because of this situation, a knock-on effect starts: the enlargement of the lungs squeezes the heart and great veins, what results in a replacement of the heart to the center of the chest becoming small and dysfunctional. Decreased venous return and the failure of cardiovascular system end in ascites and hydrops. The diaphragm planes or inverts according to the severity of the process. In case of unrecognized syndrome during the prenatal period, it usually results in stillbirth or death shortly after delivery. The overall prognosis remains fatal, and long-term medical and surgical challenges for survivors remain considerable even after overcoming fetal intervention.

Goldenhar syndrome: a rare diagnosis with possible prenatal findings.

Project description:Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital disease associated with hemifacial hypoplasia as well as ear and ocular defects. Sometimes it is also associated with vertebral and other bone defects, cardiac malformations and central nervous system anomalies. Its aetiology is not yet clarified in the literature. We present a case of multiple malformations detected in the morphology ultrasound (at 22?weeks of gestation), namely absent nasal bones, micrognathia and absent left radius, among other defects. Genetic counselling, fetal brain MRI and cardiac sonography, which showed ventricular septal defect, were performed. 11 syndromes with poor fetal or neonatal prognosis were identified as possible diagnosis, using a genetic database and the couple asked for a medical termination of pregnancy. Postmortem examination has shown features consistent with Goldenhar syndrome.

A case of prenatal diagnosis of 18p deletion syndrome following noninvasive prenatal testing.

Project description:BackgroundChromosome 18p deletion syndrome is a disease caused by the complete or partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 18, there were few cases reported about the prenatal diagnosis of 18p deletion syndrome. Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is widely used in the screening of common fetal chromosome aneuploidy. However, the segmental deletions and duplications should also be concerned. Except that some cases had increased nuchal translucency or holoprosencephaly, most of the fetal phenotype of 18p deletion syndrome may not be evident during the pregnancy, 18p deletion syndrome was always accidentally discovered during the prenatal examination.Case presentationsIn our case, we found a pure partial monosomy 18p deletion during the confirmation of the result of NIPT by copy number variation sequencing (CNV-Seq). The result of NIPT suggested that there was a partial or complete deletion of X chromosome. The amniotic fluid karyotype was normal, but result of CNV-Seq indicated a 7.56 Mb deletion on the short arm of chromosome 18 but not in the couple, which means the deletion was de novo deletion. Finally, the parents chose to terminate the pregnancy.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first case of prenatal diagnosis of 18p deletion syndrome following NIPT.NIPT combined with ultrasound may be a relatively efficient method to screen chromosome microdeletions especially for the 18p deletion syndrome.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Euploid Increased Nuchal Translucency on Fetal Ultrasound (I): Noonan Syndrome: Prenatal Diagnosis and Genetic Testing.

Project description:Prenatal diagnosis of euploid increased nuchal translucency (NT) remains a challenge to obstetricians and genetic counselors although increased euploid NT at prenatal diagnosis can be associated with a favorable outcome. Prenatal diagnosis of euploid increased NT should include a differential diagnosis of pathogenetic copy number variants and RASopathy disorders (RDs) including Noonan syndrome (NS). Therefore, chromosomal microarray analysis, whole-exome sequencing, RD testing, and protein-tyrosine phosphatase, nonreceptor type 11 (PTPN11) gene testing may be necessary under such a circumstance. In this report, a comprehensive review of NS with its prenatal diagnosis and genetic testing is presented.

Prenatal diagnosis of Bardet-Biedl syndrome: a multidisciplinary approach.

Project description:Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare ciliopathic human genetic disorder with mainly an autosomal recessive inheritance. BBS phenotype develops over the years and diagnosis is usually made in late childhood or early adulthood. Prenatal diagnosis is rare in the absence of family history or consanguinity. We present a prenatal case without a family history of inherited diseases or consanguinity. Mid-trimester ultrasound revealed hyperechogenic kidneys and postaxial polydactyly putting us on track of BBS. The fetopathology supported this diagnosis and the whole-exome sequencing confirmed the hypothesis. Our case illustrates how high-resolution obstetric scan, detailed observation of fetal features and application of gene sequencing technology contribute to elucidate the aetiology of rare, yet disabling and incurable disease, with the particular setting of negative family history.
