In our series of pregnancies with ultrasound findings, common aneuploidies were the only chromosomal abnormalities present, which were detected in 10% of cases. ES CNV analysis was concordant with CMA results in all cases. No additional findings were provided by only targeting selected genes based on ultrasound findings. Broadening the analysis to a larger number of genes involved in fetal developmental disorders revealed monogenic diseases in 3.9% of cases, which, although apparently not directly related to the indications, were clinically relevant.
