Abstract

(Abstracted from N Engl J Med 2020;383:1746–1756) Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a condition complicating approximately 1 in 1700 to 3000 pregnancies where the fetus develops an overload of fluid, causing a wide range of outcomes such as stillbirth, preterm birth, neonatal complications, or neonatal death. Standard genetic testing with microarray or karyotype identifies a genetic cause of hydrops approximately only 25% of the time.
