Abstract:Structural variants (SVs) of unknown significance are great challenges for prenatal risk assessment, especially when involving dose-sensitive genes such asDMD. The pathogenicities of 5′-terminalDMDduplications in the database remain controversial. Four prenatal cases with Xp21.1 duplications were identified by routine prenatal genomic testing, encompassing the 5′-UTR to exons 1–2 in family 1 and family 2, and to exons 1–9 in family 3. The duplication in family 4 was non-contiguous covering the 5′-UTR to exon 1… Show more
