Prenatal genetic findings and pregnancy outcomes in fetuses with congenital heart disease: a decade-long retrospective analysis at a tertiary hospital

Ultrasound findings suggest that genetic risk varies by CHD type, complexity, and extracardiac anomalies, which may inform more precise prenatal genetic risk stratification.

High Diagnosis Rate for Nonimmune Hydrops Fetalis With Prenatal Clinical Genome: Expanded Results From the Hydrops-Yielding Diagnostic Results of Prenatal Sequencing (HYDROPS) Study.

Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is characterized by abnormal fluid accumulation in ≥ 2 fetal compartments and may be genetic. The incremental diagnostic yield of prenatal exome sequencing (ES) for NIHF following a negative standard workup was previously explored on 22 cases. We report ES findings in the remaining coho...

Clinical and genetic spectrum of dual rare genetic diseases revealed by whole-exome sequencing in 14 pediatric patients

Dual molecular diagnoses, defined as the coexistence of pathogenic variants in two distinct disease-causing genes, challenge the traditional single-gene model of Mendelian inheritance. With the advent of whole-exome sequencing (WES), such complex genotypes are increasingly recognized. To investigate the clinical and ge...

Rare-ID: Genomic Diagnosis in Symptomatic Neonates and Young Infants with Complex Clinical Phenotypes: A Descriptive Cohort Study

Background/Objectives: Genomic sequencing can shorten the diagnostic pathway for selected symptomatic neonates and young infants, but evidence from such cohorts should not be extrapolated to population newborn screening. This study describes molecular findings and potential clinical implications in 25 unrelated patient...
