Lessons Learned: Next-Generation Sequencing of Ten Prenatal Subjects

Subject Gene(s) of Interest according to Sequencing Results Interpretation of the Sequencing Results Clinical Significance Clinical Outcome
DGAP239 CHD7 (disrupted),
LMBRD1 (disrupted)
disruption of an autosomal-dominant gene with a low haploinsufficiency index and associated with CHARGE syndrome (pathogenic) and an autosomal-recessive gene (non-contributory) pathogenic CHARGE syndrome
DGAP247 KHDRBS3 (disrupted) disruption of a single gene without pathogenicity unknown, likely to be benign healthy newborn
DGAP248 LRRTM4, RFC3 (disrupted), NBEA disruption of a gene with a low haploinsufficiency index but no reported pathogenicity; potential dysregulation of an additional gene with a low haploinsufficiency index and reported to be associated with autism-like behaviors in animal models and disrupted in a subject with idiopathic autism45, 46 unknown termination prior to communication of sequencing results
DGAP258 non-genic breakpoints with cryptic paternal inversion not at the karyotypically detected breakpoint unknown, likely to be benign healthy newborns
DGAP259 CNTN6 (disrupted), CNTN4, TBC1D5 (disrupted), SATB1, MEF2C, CETN3, CNTNAP2 (disrupted), CUL1, EZH2, SHH, PTPRD (disrupted), L3MBTL4 (disrupted), TCF4, WDR7 (disrupted), NEDD4L complex rearrangement with potential dysregulation of genes with a low haploinsufficiency index and associated with malformation in the CNS and chromatin organization pathogenic termination due to multiple abnormal prenatal findings
(bilateral ventriculomegaly and colpocephaly with partial agenesis of the corpus callosum)
DGAP268 CPEB3
(disrupted)
disruption of a single gene without known pathogenicity and a cryptic inversion at non-genic breakpoints unknown, likely to be benign healthy newborn
DGAP285 FAM104B
(disrupted), MTM1
disruption of a single gene without known pathogenicity; disruption of a TBR with potential dysregulation of a gene associated with X-linked myotubular myopathy, a prenatal-onset fatal disease unknown, likely to be pathogenic intrauterine fetal demise
(overlapping findings with X-linked myotubular myopathy include decreased fetal movements, hydrocephalus, and stillbirth)
DGAP288 SOX9 non-genic breakpoints with dysregulation of a gene with a low haploinsufficiency index and known to be associated with Pierre Robin sequence pathogenic Pierre Robin sequence
DGAP290 HECW2 (disrupted),
NUP205 (disrupted)
disruption of two genes without known pathogenicity; non-genic cryptic inversion in one of the breakpoints unknown, likely to be benign termination after communication of sequencing results
DGAP295 GFPT1 (disrupted), IGF2 complex rearrangement with potential dysregulation of an imprinted gene associated with Silver-Russell syndrome (pathogenic) and a recessively inherited syndromic gene (noncontributory) pathogenic small birth weight and failure to thrive (findings consistent with Silver-Russell syndrome)
