摘要
A single-center retrospective study of G-band karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for the invasive prenatal diagnosis of 6159 fetuses with ultrasound abnormalities was conducted. This study aimed to investigate the incidence rates of chromosomal abnormalities and pregnancy outcomes and postpartum clinical manifestations by long-term follow-up and to explore the correlation between different types of prenatal ultrasound abnormalities and pathogenic chromosomal abnormalities. The overall incidence of pathogenic chromosomal aberrations in fetuses with ultrasound abnormalities was 7.58% (467/6159), which comprised 41.7% (195/467) with chromosome number abnormalities, 57.6% (269/467) with pathogenic copy-number variations (pCNVs), and 0.64% (3/467) with uniparental disomy (UPD). In addition, 1.72% (106/6159) with likely pathogenic copy-number variations (lpCNVs) and 3.04% (187/6159) with variants of unknown significance (VOUS) were detected by CMA. Ultrasound abnormalities were categorized into structural anomalies and soft marker anomalies. The incidence rate of pathogenic and likely pathogenic chromosomal abnormalities was significantly higher among fetuses with structural anomalies than soft markers (11.13% vs 7.59%, p < 0.01). We retrospectively analyzed the prenatal genetic outcomes for a large cohort of fetuses with different types of ultrasound abnormalities. The present study showed that the chromosomal abnormality rate and clinical outcomes of fetuses with different types of ultrasound abnormalities varied greatly. Our data have important implications for prenatal genetic counseling for fetuses with different types of ultrasound abnormalities.
