Mutation in PVRL4 gene encoding nectin-4 underlies ectodermal-dysplasia-syndactyly syndrome (EDSS1).

abstract：:Trisomy 18 (T18) and trisomy 13 (T13) are major concerns in prenatal genetic testing due to their poor prognosis; very low birth weight (VLBW) is also a concern in neonatology. The aim of this study was to investigate the mortality and morbidity of VLBW infants diagnosed with T18/T13 in Japan, compared with those with...
