Organ/body system Number of families referred due to indication (N,%) Families with molecular diagnosis (N,%)
Brain 10 (24.4%) 6/10 (60%)
Renal 14 (34.1%) 6/14(42.9%)
Musculoskeletal () 18 (43.9%) 10/18 (55.6%)

Part of the families were classified to more than single organ/body system group, while others to none.

Distal limbs anomalies (e.g., polydactyly, syndactyly, clubfoot etc.) were included in this group, but not orofacial malformations.

∗∗Increased NT was defined as above 3 mm.
