Advancing precision care in pregnancy through a treatable fetal findings list
This integrative review proposes criteria for a “treatable fetal findings list” to
guide secondary findings reporting from prenatal sequencing. We provide a list of
genetic disorders with fetal interventions or immediate post-natal therapies and address

Unexpected help from vitamin B12: Basic research on worms provides new insights into Verheij syndrome Read Full Article #VitaminB12 #VerheijSyndrome #WormResearch
🔬 Vitamin B12 Offers Hope for Rare Genetic Disorder
New research using worm models has revealed that vitamin B12 can correct developmental delays and metabolic abnormalities associated with Verheij syndrome, a rare genetic disorder affecting children's growth and development.
🔬 Unlocking Potential Therapies for Verheij Syndrome
By studying the fundamental processes of RNA processing in model organisms like C. elegans, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing have identified a link between splicing defects, vitamin B12-dependent metabolism, and developmental issues, paving the way for new therapeutic strategies.
🔬 From Worms to Patients: Promising Human Cell Findings
Analysis of human cells and patient blood samples corroborates the findings from the worm model, suggesting that similar metabolic pathways affected by vitamin B12 may be relevant in humans with Verheij syndrome, offering a potential avenue for treatment.
