This study evaluates the efficacy of amnioreduction in prolonging gestation and improving outcomes in affected pregnancies.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We analyzed three cases of severe polyhydramnios detected via prenatal ultrasound. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed to identify causative mutations. Two cases underwent therapeutic amnioreduction, while the third received expectant management. Clinical outcomes, including gestational age at delivery and neonatal complications, were compared.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>WES confirmed hemizygous MAGED2 mutations in all fetuses. The two cases treated with amnioreduction were delivered at 35 weeks 2 days and 37 weeks 1 day, respectively, with no severe neonatal complications.

Integration of WES for rapid genetic diagnosis and multidisciplinary care optimizes prenatal management. These findings support amnioreduction as a critical intervention for this high-risk population, emphasizing early genetic testing, and proactive fetal therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":50682,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Dysmorphology","volume":" ","pages":"117-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144627645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
