In 338 singleton pregnancies, the diagnostic yield of CMA in the context of CL\/P fetuses was determined to be 7.7% (26\/338). CP cases exhibited a relatively higher prevalence of pathogenic\/likely pathogenic CNVs at a rate of 25% (3\/12), followed by CLP cases at 8.0% (23\/288). Notably, the CL group did not demonstrate any pathogenic\/likely pathogenic CNV findings among the examined cases (0\/38). The diagnostic rate of clinically significant variants was notably higher in the non-isolated CL\/P group than in the isolated CL\/P group (11\/33, 33.3% vs. 15\/305, 4.9%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).

The presence of CP and CLP in fetal cases demonstrated a relatively higher incidence of pathogenic\/likely pathogenic CNVs. Moreover, when these cases were accompanied by additional ultrasound abnormalities, the likelihood of identifying diagnostic CNVs significantly increased. Conversely, cases of CL alone might not be associated with positive CNVs. The present data may significantly enhance prenatal diagnosis accuracy and facilitate informed genetic counseling for cases of fetal CL\/P.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13052-024-01720-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]],"date-time":"2024-08-22T11:18:11Z","timestamp":1724325491000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Association of prenatal Cleft Lip and Palate ultrasound abnormalities with copy number variants at a single Chinese tertiary center"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Shujuan","family":"Yan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiuxia","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hang","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruibin","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"You","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunling","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fang","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ru","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fucheng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiangyi","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Zhen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dongzhi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Can","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,21]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"1720_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.1038\/nrg2933","volume":"12","author":"MJ Dixon","year":"2011","unstructured":"Dixon MJ, Marazita ML, Beaty TH, Murray JC.
