The study group included 697 women whose fetuses were diagnosed with congenital heart disease (CHD) by echocardiography, while the comparison group included 2,689 women with normal echocardiographic results. The diagnostic contributions of echocardiography, karyotyping, and CMA were compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among the 697 cases diagnosed with CHD, the most common types were ventricular septal defect (44.45%) and valve abnormalities (40.66%). Chromosomal abnormalities were detected in 41 out of 629 CHD cases (6.52%) by karyotyping, with higher rates in complex CHD (16.36%) and CHD with extracardiac anomalies (23.08%) compared to the comparison group (4.71%). CMA identified 34 pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) (5.28%) and 9 variants of unknown significance (VOUS) (1.40%) in 644 CHD cases, with higher CNV detection rates in complex CHD (7.69%) and CHD with extracardiac anomalies (7.69%) compared to the comparison group (1.38%).

When combined with karyotyping and CMA, this integrated approach achieves maximal detection of both macroscopic and submicroscopic genomic alterations\u2014particularly in complex cardiac
