“…Prenatal cfDNA screening has more recently been validated to detect fetal copy number variations (CNVs), depending upon factors such as CNV size and sequencing depth. Emerging evidence indicates that prenatal cfDNA screening can also potentially detect maternal CNVs with accuracy similar to that of CMA depending upon sequencing read depth and use of large amounts of short reads for favorable resolution, and possibly confirm a related diagnosis of suspicion such as triple X syndrome, malignancy, or fibroids, all of which can be suspected clinically . Our findings underscore the potential clinical significance of maternal CNVs detected incidentally during cfDNA screening; in this case, such screening identified a chromosome Xp deletion, resulting in variant Turner syndrome, as the likely cause of the patient's previous incident of infertility.…”
