Genomic Sequencing in Anatomically Normal Fetuses
University of California, San Francisco
Summary
This cohort study will examine the clinical utility of genomic sequencing (GS) in patients undergoing prenatal diagnostic procedures (chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis) for routine indications other than a structural fetal anomaly.
Description
Individuals who request prenatal diagnostic testing with standard chromosomal microarray will be offered GS as an option to assess for additional disease risk. The GS will be limited to evaluation of single gene disorders on a curated gene list developed by our multidisciplinary team of experts. This will include only pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in genes associated with conditions with a well-defined phenotype that may include cognitive impairment or debilitating health conditions in childhood and/or conditions that will impact maternal, fetal, neonatal, or early childhood health…
