Chromosomal prenatal diagnosis: study of 936 cases of intrauterine abnormalities after ultrasound assessment.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic utility of prenatal diagnosis using the chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for fetuses presenting with isolated or associated intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). METHOD:We retrospectively included all fetuses with IUGR referred for prenatal testing a...
