Next-generation sequencing in prenatal setting Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
The application of next-generation sequencing to fetal pathology has proved to increase the diagnostic yield in fetuses with abnormal ultrasounds. We retrospectively reviewed genetic data of 30 selected cases studied through targeted resequencing of OMIM genes. In our experience, clinical data proved to be essential to support diagnostic reasoning and enhance variants' assessment. The molecular diagnosis was reached in 19/30 (63%) cases. Only ...
