Abstract As part of the Danish National Genome Centre (DNGC) initiative, the Central Denmark Region has implemented short-read whole-genome sequencing (srWGS) as a first-tier diagnostic tool for suspected monogenetic disorders. Despite increasing adoption of genome sequencing, evidence from large-scale implementation across clinical specialties remains limited. Here, we evaluate the implementation from patient inclusion and srWGS scaling to diagnostic performance.

To evaluate cell-free non-invasive prenatal testing (cfNIPT) in pregnancies affected by mosaicism. We assessed paired cfNIPT and chorionic villus sample (CVS) results from the same pregnancies in a case series of mosaicism detected in Central and North Denmark Regions from April 2014 to September 2018. Indications for the clinically obtained CVS, pregnancy markers and outcome were retrieved from The Danish Fetal Medicine Database.
