348 Prenatal care and the hispanic paradox

Abstract

However, all had additional postnatal anomalies, which included: CNS (45%, 19/42), cardiac (19%, 8/42), skeletal (93%, 39/42), and genitourinary defects (45%, 19/42). CONCLUSION: When hemivertebra is identified on prenatal ultrasound, genetic testing should be offered. Due to the multiple monogenic etiologies, we suggest exome sequencing when the cytogenetic workup is negative. Fetal echocardiogram and neurosonogram should be considered, in order to increase the prenatal detection rate of associated anomalies.
