Journal Article
Molecular diagnostic yield of exome sequencing in a Chinese cohort of 512 fetuses with anomalies
2024
Overview
Background
Currently, whole exome sequencing has been performed as a helpful complement in the prenatal setting in case of fetal anomalies. However, data on its clinical utility remain limited in practice. Herein, we reported our data of fetal exome sequencing in a cohort of 512 trios to evaluate its diagnostic yield.
Methods
In this retrospective cohort study, the couples performing prenatal exome sequencing were enrolled. Fetal phenotype was classified according to ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging findings. Genetic variants were analyzed based on a phenotype-driven followed by genotype-driven approach in all trios.
Results
A total of 97 diagnostic variants in 65 genes were identified in 69 fetuses, with an average detection rate of 13.48%. Skeletal and renal system were the most frequently affected organs referred for whole exome sequencing, with the highest diagnostic rates. Among them, short femur and kidney cyst were the most common phenotype. Fetal growth restriction was the most frequently observed phenotype with a low detection rate (4.3%). Exome sequencing had limited value in isolated increased nuchal translucency and chest anomalies.
Conclusions
This study provides our data on the detection rate of whole exome sequencing in fetal anomalies in a large cohort. It contributes to the expanding of phenotypic and genotypic spectrum.
