Abstract excerpt
Polyhydramnios can be caused by genetic defects at times. However, to establish an accurate diagnosis and provide a precise prenatal consultation in a given case is still a great challenge toward obstetricians. To uncover the genetic cause of polyhydramnios in the two consecutive pregnancies, we performed whole-exome sequencing of DNA for the second suffering fetuses, their parents, and targeted sanger sequencing...
