Question: Is echocardiographic examination is useful for surgical method decision in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)?
Finding: Various echocardiographic parameters serve as predictors for determining surgical methods for TOF patients. However, the PV morphology and tissue characteristics should also be considered.
Meaning: A full dependence on the size of the pulmonary valve annulus (PVA), the z score, and the ratio of the size of PVA to aortic valve annulus or descending aorta surgery may result in inadequate surgical results during TOF total correction. |

Background: Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are frequently encountered in pediatric neurology clinics. However, their extensive genetic heterogeneity often limits the diagnostic yield of standard diagnostic tests, highlighting the need for comprehensive genomic approaches.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of whole exome sequencing (WES) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) in children with unexplained NDDs and assess the clinical relevance... |
