OC11.01: *Clinical experience with carrier screening in a general population: support for a comprehensive pan‐ethnic approach
Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology(2020)
摘要
To present next generation sequencing (NGS) based expanded carrier screening (CS) results from the USA. Single-gene disorder carrier status for 381,014 individuals was determined using NGS-based pan-ethnic CS for up to 274 genes. Detection rates were compared to literature derived values. Data for guideline-recommended (Ashkenazi Jewish [AJ] disorder panel) or commonly screened genetic disorders (cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, fragile X) were further examined. After excluding at-risk spinal muscular atrophy and α-thalassemia silent carriers, combined theoretical at-risk couple and expected affected pregnancy rates for 274 disorders were calculated. Of all the genes screened, 117/274 (42.7%) had observed carrier rates significantly different from expected (figure 1). For AJ disorders, 81.6% (4,434/5,435) of carriers identified did not report AJ ancestry. For cystic fibrosis, 44.0% (6,260/14,229) of carriers identified had a variant not on the standard 23 mutation panel. At-risk silent spinal muscular atrophy carriers, undetectable by standard screening, were present in 1/39 (8,763/344,407) individuals. For fragile X, compared to standard premutation screening, AGG interruption analysis modified risk in 83.2% (1,128/1,356) of carriers. Assuming random pairing, 1/44 (2.3%) couples would be expected to be at-risk and 1/175 (0.6%) pregnancies would be affected by a disorder in the 274 gene screening panel. NGS-based CS provides increased identification of at-risk couples compared to standard screening. These data support offering NGS-based CS to all reproductive-aged women.
