In addition, 21 variants in 11 genes among the positive cases had not been previously reported. The diagnostic yield for definitive findings for trio analysis was 55.9% (19\/34) compared to 33.3% (9\/27) for singletons. The most common ultrasound abnormalities were skeletal system abnormalities 39.2% (11\/28), followed by multiple system abnormalities (17.9%, 5\/28) and genitourinary abnormalities (17.9%, 5\/28).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results support the use of WES to identify genetic etiologies of ultrasound abnormalities and improve understanding of pathogenic variants.
