Recent data have suggested that fetal nuchal translucency (NT) is affected by fetal gender.
2
Subjects were included if they had an early first-trimester ultrasound examination and subsequent nuchal translucency (NT) screening.
3
Conclusion: In France, first-trimester screening with nuchal translucency and maternal serum markers is likely to achieve a high screening efficiency.
4
The crown-rump length, nuchal translucency thickness, and nasal bone were assessed between 11 and 14 weeks.
5
Material and methods: We included 225 randomly selected pregnant women attending nuchal translucency scan at gestational week 11-14.
6
The highest sensitivity is obtained by assessment of the " nuchal translucency" (NT) which can be investigated during the first and second trimester of pregnancy.
7
Methods: Three hundred eighty-nine fetuses with nuchal translucency (NT) ≥ 3.5 mm were identified in two prenatal centers between January 2008 and December 2012.

Nuchal translucency tests and amniocentesis are currently provided at 14 to 15 weeks.
