The frequency of twin pregnancies has increased significantly, especially because of the assisted reproduction and advanced maternal age at conception. The twin pregnancies are responsible for 25 % of all preterm birth. Consequently, these are more associated with perinatal mortality and morbidity when compared to single pregnancies.Additionally, the short cervix ( < 25 mm) in singleton a…
The aneuploidies are among the most frequent chromosomal alterations being responsible for most cases of mental retardation, congenital malformations, disorders of sexual development and miscarriages. These changes occur because of errors dividing that result during meiosis in gametes with abnormal number of chromosomes. The trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), the 13 (Patau syndrome), the 18 (Edw…
Prematurity is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and among the risk factors for preterm birth, cervical incompetence is a major risk. Currently, we observe genetic component in the occurrence of prematurity. Among the genetic factors, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of some genes studied among many, are associated with the occurrence of preterm birth. Recent st…
The discovery that fetal nucleic acids are present in the maternal plasma has opened a new venue for investigation of genetic characteristics of the fetus during pregnancy. In the last years at least two tests, based on this innovation, have gained the laboratorial setting; fetal gender and RhD determination, the former in any gestational age for both normal and at-risk pregnancies and t…
