Abstract:ObjectiveOne goal of prenatal genetic screening is to optimize perinatal care and improve infant outcomes. We sought to determine whether high‐risk cfDNA screening for 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) affected prenatal or neonatal management.MethodsThis was a secondary analysis from the SMART study. Patients with high‐risk cfDNA results for 22q11.2DS were compared with the low‐risk cohort for pregnancy characteristics and obstetrical management. To assess differences in neonatal care, we compared high‐ris… Show more
