Whole exome sequencing as a diagnostic adjunct to clinical testing in fetuses with structural abnormalities

Abstract

WES is a promising method for the identification of genetic variants that cause structural abnormalities in fetuses with normal results on karyotyping and CMA. This enhanced diagnostic yield has the potential to improve the clinical management of pregnancies and to inform better the reproductive decisions of affected families. Copyright © 2017 ISUOG.
