Leiden mutation, bed rest and infection: simultaneous triggers for maternal deep-vein thrombosis and neonatal intracranial hemorrhage?

abstract：:A case is presented in which X-linked ichthyosis was diagnosed prenatally using fluorescence in situ hybridization. Fetal sex was known by second trimester ultrasound in a woman with very low second trimester MSUE3. All of the 15 maternal peripheral blood metaphase spreads examined displayed two hybridization signals ...
