SRY testing on maternal blood was performed in 17.5% of cases and invasive examination was performed in 59.6% of cases. Amniotic fluid analyses included steroid profile (76.5%), biochemical analyses for Smith-Lemli-Opitz (SLO) syndrome (64.7%), and genetic analyses (100%). Genetic analyses comprised karyotype (100%), comparative genomic hybridization array (67.6%), DSD panel (14.7%), targeted gene analysis (35.3%). A molecular diagnosis was obtained in 13 cases, including 5 prenatally. Three fetuses were ultimately diagnosed with severe neurological conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prenatal assessment may support counseling and care planning for families expecting a child with DSD.
