    Sammanfattning : The aims were to investigate the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosis of structural fetal anomalies with special focus on false positive findings (I), to evaluate the additional value of second trimester fetal MRI on pregnancy management (II-III) and to estimate the ascertainment in the Swedish Birth Defects Registry and incidence of spina bifida and cleft lip/palate (IV). Retrospectively, 328 fetal autopsies were identified where pregnancies were terminated due to ultrasonographically diagnosed fetal anomalies. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to search for causes of the testicular cancer epidemic through epidemiologic studies of testicular cancer and possibly related conditions, such as urogenital birth defects and subfertility. First, we assessed changes in fertility over time by studying time-to-pregnancy among primiparous women in Sweden from 1983 through 1993 using data from the Medical Birth Registry. LÄS MER

  5. 5. The orofacial cleft phenome

    Författare :Mimi Yow; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: The global average for prevalence in births with orofacial clefts is 9.92 per 10,000. Variability in prevalence could be as much as a seven-fold difference in different ethnicities. Precise phenotyping and subphenotyping were essential in understanding the orofacial cleft phenome.
