## Abstract We describe the prenatal imaging of 2 fetuses at risk for Joubert syndrome (JS). In the first case, the mother, who had previously given birth to a child with JS, was referred to our hospital at 17 weeks' gestation. The prenatal diagnosis of JS complicated with an encephalocele was made

β¦ Synopsis
We report six cases of Noonan syndrome which presented prenatally with sonographic abnormalities. These included increased nuchal fluid, short femora, pleural effusions, hydrops, cardiac and renal abnormalities. A review of all cases of Noonan syndrome seen at two regional genetics centres confirms the association with these sonographic abnormalities. These cases demonstrate the diversity of prenatal presentation of Noonan syndrome and highlight the need to consider this diagnosis, particularly when faced with a fetus with a normal karyotype and varying degrees of oedema or hydrops, with a short femur length.

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a spectrum of fetal conditions associated with severe hypoplasia of the left ventricle and left ventricular outflow tract. The purpose of this series was to focus on the sonographic prenatal features of isolated HLHS. Based on the 5 cases presented here, the
Noonan syndrome (NS) is among the most common nonchromosomal disorders affecting development and growth. NS is genetically heterogeneous, being caused by germline mutations affecting various genes implicated in the RAS signaling network. This network transduces extracellular signals into intracellul
