Mashup Score: 0Validation and depth evaluation of low-pass genome sequencing in prenatal diagnosis using 387 amniotic fluid samples - 1 year(s) ago
Background Low-pass genome sequencing (LP GS) is an alternative to chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). However, validations of LP GS as a prenatal diagnostic test for amniotic fluid are rare. Moreover, sequencing depth of LP GS in prenatal diagnosis has not been evaluated. Objective The diagnostic performance of LP GS was compared with CMA using 375 amniotic fluid samples. Then, sequencing…

Mashup Score: 0Q&A: In utero exposure to Bendectin linked to increased risk for CRC in adult offspring - 1 year(s) ago
Prenatal exposure in the 1960s and ’70s to dicyclomine, a component of the anti-nausea drug Bendectin, increased the risk for colorectal cancer in adult offspring, according to data reported in JNCI Cancer Spectrum. “In the 1960s, Bendectin (doxylamine/pyridoxine/dicyclomine) was frequently prescribed to pregnant women to manage nausea and vomiting. Bendectin was initially approved

Mashup Score: 0Annual Research Review: Prenatal opioid exposure – a two-generation approach to conceptualizing neurodevelopmental outcomes - ACAMH - 1 year(s) ago
Paper from the JCPP Special Issue: Annual Research Review 2023 – ‘Opioid use during pregnancy impacts the health and well-being of two generations: the pregnant person and the child. The factors that increase risk for opioid use in the adult, as well as those that perpetuate risk for the caregiver and child, oftentimes replicate across generations and may be more likely to affect child…

Mashup Score: 0Long-term effects of prenatal undernutrition on female rat hypothalamic KNDy neurons - 1 year(s) ago
The nutritional environment during development periods induces metabolic programming, leading to metabolic disorders and detrimental influences on human reproductive health. This study aimed to determine the long-term adverse effect of intrauterine malnutrition on the reproductive center kisspeptin-neurokinin B-dynorphin A (KNDy) neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) of female…

Mashup Score: 0Parental mosaicism detection and preimplantation genetic testing in families with multiple transmissions of de novo mutations - 1 year(s) ago
Background De novo mutations (DNMs) are linked with many severe early-onset disorders ranging from rare congenital malformation to intellectual disability. Conventionally, DNMs are considered to have an estimated recurrence rate of 1%. Recently, studies have revealed a higher prevalence of parental mosaicism, leading to a greater recurrence risk, resulting in a second child harbouring the same…

Mashup Score: 1
Eczema in early childhood, often the start of the atopic march, increases the likelihood of developing subsequent atopic conditions (food allergy, allergic asthma, and allergic rhinitis).1,2 Modifiable environmental risk factors, which are important to eczema pathogenesis, may represent potential interventions. Studies demonstrate the protective effects of domestic pets on eczema development.3,4…

Mashup Score: 0Experience using singleton exome sequencing of probands as an approach to preconception carrier screening in consanguineous couples - 1 year(s) ago
Background Consanguineous couples have an increased risk of severe diseases in offspring due to autosomal recessive disorders. Exome sequencing (ES) offers the possibility of extensive preconception carrier screening (PCS) in consanguineous couples who may be at risk of rare genetic disorders. Methods We retrospectively analysed ES data from 65 probands affected with rare genetic disorders born…
