Objective To evaluate the use of array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) for prenatal diagnosis, including assessment of variants Of uncertain significance, and the ability to detect abnormalities not detected by karyotype, and vice versa. Methods Women undergoing amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) for karyotype were offered aCGH analysis using a targeted microarray. Parental samples were obtained concurrently to exclude maternal cell contamination and determine if copy number variants (CNVs) were de novo, or inherited prior to issuing a report. Results We analyzed 300 samples, most were amniotic fluid (82%) and CVS (17%). The most common indications were advanced maternal age (N = 123) and abnormal ultrasound findings (N = 84). We detected 58 CNVs (19.3%). Of these, 40 (13.3%) were interpreted as likely benign, 15 (5.0%) were of defined pathological significance, while 3 (1.0%) were Of uncertain clinical significance. For seven (similar to 2.3% or 1/43), aCGH contributed important new information. For two of these (1% or similar to 1/150), the abnormality Would not have been detected without aCGH analysis. Conclusion Although aCGH-detected benign inherited variants in 13.3% of cases, these did not present major Counseling difficulties, and the procedure is an improved diagnostic tool for prenatal detection of chromosomal abnormalities.
