Exome sequencing of fetal anomaly syndromes: novel phenotype–genotype discoveries

Abstract excerpt

The monogenic etiology of most severe fetal anomaly syndromes is poorly understood. Our objective was to use exome sequencing (ES) to increase our knowledge on causal variants and novel candidate genes associated with specific fetal phenotypes. We employed ES in a cohort of 19 families with one or more fetuses presenting with a distinctive anomaly pattern and/or phenotype recurrence at increased risk for lethal...
