Summary
This study tested a new DNA test called high-throughput exome sequencing on 100 fetuses with multiple birth defects whose cause was unknown after standard exams. The test looks at all the coding parts of DNA to find genetic causes. Researchers compared how many extra diagnoses this test made versus usual methods, using blood samples from both parents to help interpret results.
