Prenatal Genetic Testing in the Era of Next Generation Sequencing: A One-Center Canadian Experience

Abstract: The introduction of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has revolutionized the practice of Medical Genetics, and despite initial reticence in its application to prenatal genetics (PG), it is becoming gradually routine, subject to availability. Guidance for the clinical implementation of NGS in PG, in particular whole exome sequencing (ES), has been provided by several professional societies with multiple clinical studies quoting a wide range of testing yields. ES was introduced in our tertiary care c… Show more

“…A todos los pacientes en quienes se diagnostica una anomalía fetal se les debe ofrecer asesoramiento genético que incluya una descripción de las diversas pruebas genéticas existentes con ventajas y desventajas [5]. Este grupo de pruebas en genética prenatal incluyen pruebas dirigidas (QF-PCR y paneles genéticos) y estudios genómicos en diferentes niveles (cariotipo, microarreglos, secuenciación exómica y secuenciación completa del genoma) (Tabla 1) [6].…”

“…Históricamente, el cariotipo de bandas-G (resolución entre 5-10 Mb) se ha centrado en la detección de anomalías cromosómicas. Su mayor desventaja ha sido el tiempo de obtención de resultados [4][5][6][7]. La utilización combinada de otras técnicas moleculares, como son la hibridación in situ por fluorescencia (FISH) y la QF-PCR (la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa cuantitativa y fluorescente) han permitido la detección rápida Adicionalmente, los arreglos son capaces de evaluar todo el genoma en un único procedimiento [6].…”
