Prenatal Diagnosis by Trio Clinical Exome Sequencing: Single Center Experience.
Current Issues in Molecular Biology 2024 April 7
Fetal anomalies, characterized by structural or functional abnormalities occurring during intrauterine life, pose a significant medical challenge, with a notable prevalence, affecting approximately 2-3% of live births and 20% of spontaneous miscarriages. This study aims to identify the genetic cause of ultrasound anomalies through clinical exome sequencing (CES) analysis. The focus is on utilizing CES analysis in a trio setting, involving the fetuses and both parents. To achieve this objective, prenatal trio clinical exome sequencing was conducted in 51 fetuseses exhibiting ultrasound anomalies with previously negative results from chromosomal microarray (CMA) analysis. The study revealed pathogenic variants in 24% of the analyzed cases (12 out of 51). It is worth noting that the findings include de novo variants in 50% of cases and the transmission of causative variants from asymptomatic parents in 50% of cases. Trio clinical exome sequencing stands out as a crucial tool in advancing prenatal diagnostics, surpassing the effectiveness of relying solely on chromosomal microarray analysis. This underscores its potential to become a routine diagnostic standard in prenatal care, particularly for cases involving ultrasound anomalies.
