| الوصف: | Objectives Regarding increased nuchal translucency (NT), the cutoff values used are heterogeneous in clinical practice, this study aims to assess the efficacy of prenatal detection for chromosomal abnormalities and pregnancy outcomes in fetuses with varying NT thicknesses, in order to provide data that supports informed prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling for such cases. Methods We included 2,272 pregnant women under 35 with singleton pregnancies who underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis between 2014 and 2022. The cohort comprised 2,010 fetuses with increased NT (≥2.5 mm) and 262 fetuses with normal NT but exhibiting a single soft marker. Prenatal diagnoses were supported by chromosomal microarray (CMA) and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) analyses. Results The detection rates of numerical chromosomal abnormalities were 15.4% (309/2,010) and 17.3% (297/1,717) in the NT ≥2.5 and ≥ 3.0 groups, respectively. Pathogenic/likely pathogenic CNV incidence increased with NT thickness (χ2 = 8.60, p < 0.05), peaking at 8.7% (22/254) in the NT 4.5–5.4 mm group. Structural defects were found in 18.4% of fetuses with NT values between 2.5 mm and 2.9 mm. Chromosomal abnormality rates in the isolated increased NT groups of 2.5–2.9 mm and 3.0–3.4 mm were 6.7% (16/239) and 10.0% (47/470), respectively, with no statistical significance (χ2 = 2.14, p > 0.05). Fetuses with NT thickness between 2.5 and 2.9 mm combined with the presence of soft markers or non-lethal structural abnormalities exhibited a significantly higher chromosomal abnormality risk (19.0%) compared to fetuses with isolated increased NT ranging from 3.5 to 4.4 mm (13.0%). Pregnancy termination rates increased with NT thickness (χ2 = 435.18, p < 0.0001), ranging from 12.0% (30/249) in the NT 2.5–2.9 mm group to 87.0% (141/162) in the NT ≥ 6.5 mm group. Conclusion CMA or CNV-seq exhibited good performance in identifying genomic aberrations in pregnancies with increased NT thickness. NT ranging from 2.5 mm to 2.9 mm elevated the ... |
