Mutations in SOX2 cause anophthalmia

TL;DR: A submicroscopic deletion containing SOX2 was identified at the 3q breakpoint in a child with t(3;11)(q26.3;p11.2) associated with bilateral anophthalmia and de novo truncating mutations ofSOX2 were identified in 4 of 35 individuals with anophilethalmia.
Journal Article

Meiotic origin of trisomy in confined placental mosaicism is correlated with presence of fetal uniparental disomy, high levels of trisomy in trophoblast, and increased risk of fetal intrauterine growth restriction

TL;DR: Molecular determination of origin is a useful predictor of pregnancy outcome, whereas the level of trisomy observed in cultured CVS is not, possibly indicating that imprinting effects for these chromosomes are confined to placental tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obstetrical and gynecological complications in fragile X carriers: a multicenter study.

TL;DR: Analysis indicated that higher numbers of fragile X gene carriers reported having irregular menses and other gynecological complications, and experienced cessation of menses prior to age 40 years at a significantly higher rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Confirmation of CVS mosaicism in term placentae and high frequency of intrauterine growth retardation association with confined placental mosaicism

TL;DR: There was a direct correlation between a high number of aneuploid cells present at CVS and a high likelihood of their detection in term placenta and the proportion ofAneuploids in the mosaicterm placentae correlated with that observed in CVS specimens.
