Prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal aberrations by chromosomal microarray analysis in fetuses with ultrasound anomalies in the urinary system

Abstract

CMA is especially valuable in the prenatal diagnosis of fetuses with urinary system anomalies. The pCNV rates differed between the isolated and nonisolated subgroups of urinary anomalies. Fetuses with echogenic kidneys had the highest rate of pCNVs. The 17q12 deletion was the most frequent pCNV in fetuses with urinary anomalies.
