Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the results of prenatal diagnosis and outcome of pregnancy of fetuses with a high risk for 6p22.1.1-p21.32 duplication signaled by non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS).
METHODS:Clinical information, results of prenatal diagnosis and pregnancy for fetuses with a high risk for 6p22.1-p21.32 duplication were collected and analyzed. This study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (Ethic No. 2018-YB-08).
RESULTS:Forty three pregnant women with a high risk for 6p22.1-p21.32 duplication were identified by NIPS, among whom 30 had accepted invasive prenatal diagnosis, and 27 fetuses were verified to be false positive. Three fetuses were found to have other chromosomal abnormalities, among whom two were rated to be likely benign CNV and 1 was rated to be likely pathogenic. Follow up of the 43 pregnant women revealed that 35 fetuses were normal after birth, 1 pregnancy was terminated, and 7 were lost to follow up.
CONCLUSION:For pregnant women with a high risk for 6p22.1-p21.32 duplication signaled by NIPS, genetic counselor need to inform them the high false positive rate and recommend invasive prenatal diagnosis and/or ultrasound examination in order to reduce the psychological and economic burdens.
