Summary: | Copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) is a powerful tool to discover structural genomic variation, but limitations associated with its retrospective study design and inadequate diversity of participants can be impractical for clinical application.
This study aims to use CNV-seq to assess chromosomal aberrations in pregnant Vietnamese women.
A large-scale study was conducted on 3776 pregnant Vietnamese women with abnormal ultrasound findings.
Chromosomal aberrations were found in 448 (11.86%) women. Of these, 274 (7.26%) had chromosomal aneuploidies and 174 (4.61%) carried pathogenic/likely pathogenic CNVs. Correlations were established between chromosomal aberrations and various phenotypic markers.
This comprehensive clinical study illuminates the pivotal role of CNV-seq in prenatal diagnosis for pregnancies featuring fetal ultrasound anomalies. |
