Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal thyroid deficiency during pregnancy and subsequent neuropsychological development of the child.

TL;DR: Undiagnosed hypothyroidism in pregnant women may adversely affect their fetuses; therefore, screening for thyroid deficiency during pregnancy may be warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal serum screening for Down's syndrome in early pregnancy.

TL;DR: The new screening method would detect over 60% of affected pregnancies, more than double that achievable with the same amniocentesis rate in existing programmes, and could reduce the number of children born with Down's syndrome in the United Kingdom from about 900 a year to about 350 a year.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA sequencing of maternal plasma to detect Down syndrome: an international clinical validation study.

TL;DR: Measurement of circulating cell-free DNA in maternal plasma DNA detects nearly all cases of Down syndrome at a very low false-positive rate, and can substantially reduce the need for invasive diagnostic procedures and attendant procedure-related fetal losses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cigarette smoking and serum lipid and lipoprotein concentrations: an analysis of published data.

TL;DR: The dose response effect of smoking on serum cholesterol concentration suggests a gradient of increased absolute risk of coronary artery disease between light and heavy smokers.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention (EGAPP) Initiative: methods of the EGAPP Working Group.

TL;DR: The EGAPP processes are described and the specific methods and approaches used by the EWG are described, which include an independent, non-federal Working Group, a multidisciplinary expert panel, and a systematic review of evidence.
