Abstract

Micrognathia occurs in about 1 in 1,500 births and can be isolated or associated with an underlying genetic syndrome or other anomalies. However, prenatal ultrasound alone may not be sufficient to identify other abnormalities. This study aims to evaluate the added utility of comprehensive fetal ultrasound and MRI for deep fetal phenotyping of apparently isolated micrognathia to aid genetic diagnosis for pregnancy management and decision-making.
