Practice guideline: joint CCMG-SOGC recommendations for the use of chromosomal microarray analysis for prenatal diagnosis and assessment of fetal loss in Canada

Abstract: BackgroundThe aim of this guideline is to provide updated recommendations for Canadian genetic counsellors, medical geneticists, maternal fetal medicine specialists, clinical laboratory geneticists and other practitioners regarding the use of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for prenatal diagnosis. This guideline replaces the 2011 Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC)-Canadian College of Medical Geneticists (CCMG) Joint Technical Update.MethodsA multidisciplinary group consisting of… Show more

“…The yield of CMA over karyotyping in fetuses with isolated CAKUT was lower than that in fetuses with other isolated malformation, such as congenital heart defects (~7.0%), musculoskeletal malformations (~8.0%), and central nervous system abnormalities (~6.0%) . The incremental yield of CMA over karyotyping in the nonisolated CAKUT group was also lower than that in previous reported studies . One possible reason for the low detection rate of CMA in CAKUT is that many CAKUT cases were caused by a single gene defect.…”

“…The variants classified into the pathogenic or likely pathogenic categories were reported regardless of size, while variants classified into likely benign or benign categories were not reported. To minimize the reporting of uncertain findings in the prenatal context, variants of VOUS that were smaller than 500 kb deletion or 1 Mb duplication were not reported, which was consistent with the CCMG‐SOGC recommendation . All clinically significant CNVs identified by CMA were further confirmed by real‐time qPCR according to the standard procedures.…”

“…Although CMA is recommended when a single or multiple fetal anomalies are identified by ultrasound, there remains a paucity of studies that focus on the relationships between CNVs and ultrasonic anomalies in the urinary system . Our study specifically focused on CMA findings in fetuses with ultrasonographic anomalies of the urinary system and performed follow‐up assessment in an attempt to elucidate the genetic and clinical value of CNVs in anomalies of the urinary system.…”

“…The detected CNVs were each evaluated for size and type (deletion or duplication), the morbidity of the impacted gene(s) (eg, loss or gain of function), and inheritance pattern and compared with values in the following publicly available databases and in the scientific literature: (a) Database of Genomic Variants (DGV; http://projects.tcag.ca/variation/), (b) Database of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans Using Ensembl Resources (DECIPHER; http://decipher.sanger.ac.uk/), (c) GeneReviews (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1116/), (d) Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGene; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/dbvar/clingen/), (e) Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim), and PubMed (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed). The clinical significance of each CNV was defined and classified into three categories: pathogenic, uncertain clinical significance (VUS) (subclassified as likely pathogenic, variant of uncertain significance or likely benign) and benign according to the guidelines . The CNVs defined as benign or likely benign were not reported.…”
