In pregnancies without known risk factors also, an increased NT is associated with major cardiac defects in the fetus and therefore represents an indication for specialized fetal echocardiography. However, this association is too weak to envisage a role for NT measurement as single screening strategy for the prenatal detection of cardiac defects.
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of fetal gender on pregnancy outcome in fetuses with enlarged nuchal translucency (NT).
Methods
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is an association between enlarged nuchal translucency (NT) and orofacial clefts.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
