Fetal malformations detected through routine prenatal ultrasound examination comprise a heterogeneous group potentially associated with genetic disorders where the underlying cause is difficult to establish. We present the prenatal diagnosis of a rare X-linked myopathy involving a new VMA21 gene mutation, detected through a novel prenatal exome sequencing-based approach.
通过常规产前超声检查发现的胎儿畸形包括一组异质性疾病,可能与遗传疾病有关,但其潜在病因难以确定。我们报告了一例罕见的X连锁肌病的产前诊断,该病例通过一种基于新型产前外显子组测序的方法检测到一个新的VMA21基因突变。
