概要 AIM: This study investigated the association between fetal copy number variations (CNVs) detected by genome-wide NIPT and perinatal outcomes in Japan.

METHODS: In a retrospective study of 46,082 patients, analysis focused on 30,373 cases with known birth outcomes. Genome-wide NIPT was performed to detect fetal CNVs > 7 Mb and specific microdeletions (e.g., 22q11.2).

RESULTS: Fetal CNVs were detected in 66 patients (0.2%). Adverse outcomes occurred in 14 of these cases (21.2%). Notably, pathogenic CNVs were frequently detected even in the 52 cases (78.8%) with favorable outcomes.

CONCLUSION: Pathogenic CNVs are often detected in structurally normal fetuses with favorable short-term outcomes. This discordance presents a significant challenge for prenatal counseling, emphasizing the need for confirmatory testing and long-term follow-up.
