Table 1

The detection rates of pathogenic CNVs in fetuses with CNS anomalies associated with different ultrasound findings.

One (Case 7) of 10 fetuses with cardiovascular abnormalities was also associated with facial anomaly, but only in the row of cardiovascular system.
The fetus (Case 4) was associated with skeletal dysplasia and lip and palate cleft, but only in the row of musculoskeletal system.
