A Chinese multicenter retrospective study of isolated increased nuchal translucency associated chromosome anomaly and prenatal diagnostic suggestions

Abstract Extensive researches involving fetuses with multiple ultrasound anomalies have been conducted over the years, but only few were focused on the isolated increased nuchal translucency (NT). On top of that, these limited number of researches were all designed as single-arm studies and the cont...
