Article Abstract
Objectives: International societies recommend amniocentesis (AC) after high-risk non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) because of potential inconclusive results from chorionic villus sampling (CVS) caused by placental mosaicism. Our study aimed to evaluate the necessity of confirmatory amniocentesis following CVS for trisomies 21, 18, and 13 with separate analysis of cytotrophoblast (CTB) and mesenchymal core (MC).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the confirmatory cytogenetic results between April 2017 and December 2022. CTB and MC were separated and analyzed by QF-PCR and/or SNP array, and karyotyping when needed.
Results: Among 338 cases, 70% (237/339) of women underwent CVS (70.5%) and 30% (101/338) underwent AC. Mosaic trisomy in MC requiring additional amniocentesis was detected in 13.5% (5/37) of cases referred due to trisomy 13, 2.5% (4/158) of cases of trisomy 21% and 0% (0/42) of cases of trisomy 18.
Conclusions: A definitive diagnosis of CVS was achieved in 97.5%, 100%, and 86.5% of patients with high-risk NIPT results for trisomy 21, 18, and 13, respectively. Moreover, our clinical practice confirms that the majority of pregnant women (70%) opted for CVS as a quick confirmatory test. We conclude that both CVS and AC can be offered when preceded by pre-test counseling on the risks of potential inconclusive results as calculated in this study.

Objective: To evaluate the association between low-volume chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and delay in patient care.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent CVS from 8/19/2019 to 12/31/2022 in a single center. The exposure was low-volume CVS, defined as less than 15 mg of sample.

Introduction: Quantification of placental histopathological structures is challenging due to a limited number of perinatal pathologists, constrained resources, and subjective assessments prone to variability. Objective standardization of placental structure is crucial for easing the burden on pathologists, gaining deeper insights into placental growth and adaptation, and ultimately improving maternal and fetal health outcomes.
Methods: Leveraging advancements in deep-learning segmentation, we developed an automated approach to detect over 9 million placenta chorionic villi from 1531 term placental whole slide images from the New Hampshire Birth Cohort Study.

Background: Rare genetic disorders are increasingly diagnosed due to advancing genetic technology, whilst, treatment for them is challenging. Therefore, their prevention by prenatal diagnosis is a way forward to reduce the overall burden. The present study provides an overview of a cohort of patients who were offered prenatal diagnosis for genetic disorders at a tertiary genetic center in India.

The nonhuman primate (NHP) is a key experimental model for studying human pregnancy complications, in part due to similarities in placental structure, which makes it essential to understand how single-cell populations compare across the human and NHP maternal-fetal interface. We constructed a single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) atlas of the placenta from the pigtail macaque ( ) in the third trimester, comprising three different tissues at the maternal-fetal interface: the chorionic villi (placental disc), chorioamniotic membranes, and the maternal decidua.

Objectives: To evaluate the association between late CVS (placental biopsy, later than 13 weeks of gestations) and complications between sampling and delivery in 8599 cases in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of a private hospital Podobnik, Zagreb, Croatia.
Methods: Late chorionic villus sampling under ultrasound guidance was carried out in prospective monocentric cohort study of 7859 (91.4%) cases in the second trimester and 700 (8.
