Maternal serum superoxide dismutase (SOD): a possible marker for screening Down syndrome affected pregnancies.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Fetal myelomeningocele (fMMC) surgery improves infant outcomes when compared with postnatal surgery. Surgical selection criteria and the option of pregnancy termination, however, limit the number of cases that are eligible for prenatal surgery. We aimed to quantify what proportion of cases could ultimately be...
