Assessment indicates NIPT is being adopted by MFMs, largely in accord with recently published American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for MFM guidelines. Cost and test performance remain factors for not adopting NIPT. Further research on clinical management based on NIPT results and patient understanding of NIPT results is suggested.
We observed truncating mutations in or in the ACC and/or germline of four unrelated patients. Given how statistically improbable the concurrence of ACC and pathogenic germline mutations is expected to be, these observations raise the question whether ACC may be a rare manifestation of mutation syndromes. Further studies are needed to investigate the possible role of SDH deficiency in ACC pathogenesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
