Prenatal genetic diagnosis in euploid fetuses with increased Nuchal Translucency (NT) and persistently increased Nuchal Fold (NF) is challenging. The aims of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of pathogenic copy number variants and Noonan Syndrome (NS) in fetuses with increased NT and persistently increased Nuchal Fold (NF) to provide recommendations for pre-natal diagnostic strategies. This is a prospective study from 118 prenatal samples from fetuses with increased NT (≥3.5mm) in first trimester. Multiplex Ligation Dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA), Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA) and karyotyping were conducted. For fetuses with increased NF (≥6mm) in the second trimester with normal karyotype and CMA, targeted Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) tests for NS were carried out. A total of 118 fetuses had an NT measurement of ≥3.5mm performed MLPA and karyotyping, 89 euploid fetuses were further investigated with CMA, which yielded eight pathogenic CNVs (size ranged from 0.85Mb to 14.5Mb). Twenty fetuses had persistently increased NF at the second trimester. NS testing revealed 3/20 (15%) fetuses had pathogenic variants, and one (5%) with a novel variant of uncertain clinical significance inherited from the father. Our study suggested that NS targeted sequencing facilitates additional genetic diagnosis in fetuses with high NT and persistently increased NF.
