Abstract

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of whole-exome sequencing (WES) in the diagnosis of foetuses with central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities but having a normal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray result.

Method: During the period of 2016-2022, there were a total of 149 foetuses with CNS abnormalities but having negative karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis results; WES was performed on these foetuses and their parents. Variants were classified according to ACMG guidelines, and the association of pathogenic variants with specific types of CNS abnormalities was explored.

Results: Among these 149 foetuses, three categories of abnormalities, namely, single CNS abnormality, multiple CNS abnormalities, CNS abnormalities along with other organ system abnormalities were identified, for which the detection rate of P/LP variants is 17.4% (12/69), 28.6% (14/49) and 54.8% (17/31), respectively.

Conclusion: WES brought about an increase of 28.9% in diagnostic yield in the prenatal evaluation of foetuses with CNS abnormalities but having negative karyotyping and chromosome array results. WES may also be of benefit for the diagnosis of foetuses with isolated CNS abnormalities, as well as for making more informed interpretations of imaging findings and for providing better genetic counselling.

全基因组测序在中枢神经系统畸形胎儿产前诊断中的应用

目的研究全外显子组测序（WES）在诊断中枢神经系统（CNS）异常但核型和染色体微阵列结果正常的胎儿中的临床价值：方法：2016-2022年间，共有149个中枢神经系统异常但核型和染色体微阵列分析结果为阴性的胎儿，对这些胎儿及其父母进行了WES分析。根据 ACMG 指南对变异进行了分类，并探讨了致病变异与特定类型中枢神经系统异常的关联：结果：在这 149 个胎儿中，发现了三类异常，即单一中枢神经系统异常、多发性中枢神经系统异常、中枢神经系统异常合并其他器官系统异常，其中 P/LP 变异的检出率分别为 17.4%（12/69）、28.6%（14/49）和 54.8%（17/31）：结论：在对中枢神经系统异常但核型和染色体阵列结果为阴性的胎儿进行产前评估时，WES 使诊断率提高了 28.9%。WES 还可用于诊断孤立的中枢神经系统畸形胎儿，以及对成像结果做出更明智的解释和提供更好的遗传咨询。

期刊介绍： Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of quality research related to the dynamically developing areas of human, molecular and medical genetics. The journal publishes original research articles covering findings in phenotypic, molecular, biological, and genomic aspects of genomic variation, inherited disorders and birth defects. The broad publishing spectrum of Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine includes rare and common disorders from diagnosis to treatment. Examples of appropriate articles include reports of novel disease genes, functional studies of genetic variants, in-depth genotype-phenotype studies, genomic analysis of inherited disorders, molecular diagnostic methods, medical bioinformatics, ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI), and approaches to clinical diagnosis. Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine provides a scientific home for next generation sequencing studies of rare and common disorders, which will make research in this fascinating area easily and rapidly accessible to the scientific community. This will serve as the basis for translating next generation sequencing studies into individualized diagnostics and therapeutics, for day-to-day medical care. Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine publishes original research articles, reviews, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented.
