Prenatal ES provides a diagnosis in an additional 31% of structurally abnormal fetuses when CMA/karyotype is non-diagnostic. The expected diagnostic yield depends on the body system(s) affected and can be optimised by pre-selection of cases following multi-disciplinary review to determine that a monogenic cause is likely.
