Patients and Methods

Clinical data were acquired from 14 subjects attending hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai, China, between January 2015 and December 2019. Then, we analyzed clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis.

Results

The gestational age ranged from 28 to 40 weeks. All subjects and infants survived except for the fetuses that underwent abortions.
