Actual (reported)Diagnostic Yield of Prenatal Exome in Patients With Fetal Structural Anomalies
Number of prenatal patients (pregnancies with a structural anomaly) who got a positive exome result among those who had the exome test. Positive exome result is defined as identification of definitive or probable positive variants which explain prenatal phenotype.
Follow-up was done 6 months after return of exome results.
Whole exome sequencing (WES) will take place for prenatal patients (pregnancies with fetal structural defects). All patients will get exome sequencing and will follow the same procedures.
The Investigators will enroll pregnant women with fetal anomalies detected by ultrasound. Patients will be approached by a maternal-fetal specialist, who has counseled the patient regarding the fetal anomaly that has been detected. Written informed consent will be obtained by the study prenatal genetic counselor. Many patients will have undergone prenatal diagnostic testing in an outside laboratory; in such cases, cells or extracted DNA from the original fetal sample will be used for the purpose of this study. The consent process for prenatal WES will include pre-test counseling and the option of choosing whether or not to receive uncertain results and secondary findings. After conducting whole exome sequencing, the findings will be shared with the parent(s). Routine medical care will be provided to patients. The research will study the effectiveness of sequencing as a tool for providing genetic information to parents when a prenatal study reveals a fetus with a structural anomaly.
