Prenatal diagnosis of cerebral lesions acquired in utero and with a late appearance.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To investigate the existence of a relationship between maternal body mass, maternal ethnicity and maternal smoking status and nuchal translucency (NT) in the first trimester of pregnancy. METHODS:NT measurements from 130 339 euploid, singleton pregnancies were converted to NT multiples of the median (MoM) an...
