DOI: 10.1002/pd.5676
Abstract: Prenatal diagnosis of sex discordance is a relatively new phenomenon. Prior to cell‐free DNA testing, the diagnosis of a disorder of sexual differentiation was serendipitous, either through identification of ambiguous genitalia at the midtrimester morphology… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10815-020-02056-2
Abstract: Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has been widely used to screen for fetal aneuploidies, including fetal sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs). However, there is less information on the performance of NIPT in detecting SCAs. A cohort of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.placenta.2017.03.019
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Normal placental vascular development is influenced by inflammatory, angiogenic and apoptotic processes, which may be modulated by choline through its role in membrane biosynthesis, cellular signaling and gene expression regulation. The current study examined… read more here.
