چکیده
(Abstracted from N Engl J Med 2020;383:1746–1756) Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a condition complicating approximately 1 in 1700 to 3000 pregnancies where the fetus develops an overload of fluid, causing wide range outcomes such as stillbirth, preterm birth, neonatal complications, or death. Standard genetic testing with microarray karyotype identifies cause only 25% time.

Thoracic Ganglioneuromas Resulting in Nonimmune Hydrops Fetalis
Introduction Most often, ganglioneuromas affect older pediatric and adult patients. They are typically slow growing tumors that remain clinically silent until they become large enough to cause symptoms by compression of adjacent structures. Case We report a case of a 22-year-old Hispanic gravida 2 para 1 female patient who was found to have massive hydrops fetalis at 20 completed gestational we...
متن کاملCongenital hypothyroidism and nonimmune hydrops fetalis: associated?
Hydrops fetalis (HF) consists of an abnormal accumulation of fluid in two or more fetal compartments, including ascites, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and skin edema. Almost all observed cases of HF are of the nonimmune type, the causes of which remain undetermined in 15% of patients. We report a newborn infant with nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) and congenital hypothyroidism. The i...
متن کاملNonimmune hydrops fetalis due to autosomal recessive hereditary spherocytosis
Background Hereditary spherocytosis is the most common form of inherited hemolytic anemia and is characterized by a structural defect in the RBC membrane. The disorder is commonly inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and leads to a mild to moderate anemia. The autosomal recessive form of hereditary spherocytosis is rarely reported in association with fetal anemia and hydrops fetalis. Ca...
متن کاملA multiplex quantitative fluorescent PCR test for prenatal diagnosis of Hb Barts hydrops fetalis.
tion, which removes both the 1 and 2 genes from 1 allele, leaving only 2 functional genes. This finding explains the comparatively high expression level (40%) of the variant chain. In an alignment of 449 globin sequences from different species, 91 is absolutely conserved as leucine, and this extraordinary level of conservation suggests an important functional role. X-ray structural analyses sho...
متن کاملMicrosatellite markers within --SEA breakpoints for prenatal diagnosis of HbBarts hydrops fetalis.
BACKGROUND We sought to develop a rapid prenatal diagnostic test for simultaneous detection of HbBarts hydrops fetalis and exclusion of maternal contamination. METHODS We developed a multiplex quantitative fluorescent PCR (QF-PCR) test that detects the presence/ absence of 2 microsatellite markers (16PTEL05/16PTEL06) located within breakpoints of the Southeast Asia ((-SEA)) deletion. HbBarts ...
