Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the value of genetic testing using exome sequencing (ES) in oligohydramnios pregnancies with or without other structural abnormalities.
Materials And Methods: A total of 110 singleton pregnancies complicated by oligohydramnios were enrolled, including 52 of isolated oligohydramnios and 58 of non-isolated oligohydramnios. All fetal samples were first tested by quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) and followed by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Those with normal CMA were informed of the option of trio ES.
Results: QF-PCR detected chromosomal abnormality in 4 cases (4/110, 3.6%), including 1 of XXY, 1 of XYY and 2 of triploidy. The remaining 106 cases were tested by CMA, with pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) detected in 5 cases (5/106, 4.7%), and uniparental disomy (UPD) in 2 cases (2/106, 1.9%). As an option for cases with a normal CMA, ES was accepted by 12 non-isolated cases, and pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants were detected in 5, involving the following genes: PBX1, FREM2, PKHD1 and BBS2, with a 41.7% (5/12) diagnostic rate.
Conclusion: We provided further evidence of using advanced genetic approaches for oligohydramnios pregnancy. Non-isolated oligohydramnios increases the risk of having monogenetic conditions.

Department of Perinatology, Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the prenatal features, genetic findings, and perinatal outcomes of fetuses with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), with a particular focus on associations with additional structural or chromosomal abnormalities.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on 277 fetuses diagnosed with CAKUT between December 2020 and December 2024 at a tertiary center. Data on anomaly subtypes, associated findings, genetic testing, pregnancy outcomes, and postnatal follow-up were evaluated.

Prenatal diagnosis and postnatal outcome of fetal congenital knee dislocation: systematic review of literature.

Department of Orthopedics, ASST Ospedale Papa Giovanni XXIII, Bergamo, Italy.
Objectives: Congenital knee dislocation (CKD) is a rare condition, affecting 1 in 100 000 newborns. Its prenatal diagnosis is challenging and not well described in the literature, especially when it appears isolated and not as part of a complex malformation or syndromic pattern. The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive review of the available literature on the prenatal diagnosis and postnatal outcome of CKD and to summarize the current evidence on this topic.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the ultrasound characteristics of fetal congenital vertical talus (CVT) to provide a detailed basis for the prenatal diagnosis of CVT.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the ultrasonographic findings of fetuses with CVT confirmed by X-ray, surgery, or autopsy from 2010 to 2020. Clinical characteristics and ultrasonographic findings of CVT, including foot morphology, ossification center of the calcaneus and talus, associated deformities, and chromosomal test results, were recorded.

Objective: To examine the incidence of placental lesions among women who delivered isolated small for gestational age newborns (isolated-SGA) at term compared to placentas from non-isolated-SGA born at term, early SGA and appropriate for age newborns (AGA).
Study Design: A case-control study conducted at a university teaching hospital. Placentas of women who delivered a newborn with a birthweight less than the 10th percentile were included.
