IDENTIFICATION OF COPY NUMBER VARIATIONS BY NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING IN PATIENTS WITH TETRALOGY OF FALLOT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Our research aims to identify copy number variation (CNV) by next-generation sequencing method in Tetralogy of Fallot patients with or without 22q11.2 deletion.
Methods: This study was conducted at University Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City from 01/2025 to 12/2025. During the research period, 44 patients with Tetralogy of Fallot were enrolled, of which 22 cases were confirmed with 22q11.2 deletion.
Results: CNV analyses of the 22q11.2 deletion group resulted in additional detection of one patient with a 2p25.3 duplication and another patient with a 12q21.3 duplication. In the non-deletion group, 9q34.1, 11p15.1 and 15q13.3 duplications were obtained separately in three patients.
Conclusion: Although their clinical relevance remains to be defined, our results indicate that Tetralogy of Fallot patients can carry different CNVs besides the common 22q11.2 deletion.
