The aim of this study was to investigate the value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for the prenatal diagnosis of orofacial clefts.A total of 143 fetuses with oral clefts were detected by ultrasound during prenatal exam between 2012 and 2017 in our center. We categorized the cases into 4 groups: isolated cleft lip (CL) (CL only), isolated cleft palate (CP only), isolated cleft lip and palate (CLP) (CLP only), and syndromic CLP (combined with other malformations). The CMA was performed in all cases, while 139 fetuses were referred for G-banded chromosome analysis.There were 42 male and 10 female fetuses were born, with a sex ratio of 4.2:1. The isolated CLP group accounted for 74.1% (106/143) of cases, while the isolated CL, isolated CP, and syndromic CP groups accounted for 13.9% (20/143), 2% (3/143), and 10% (14/143), respectively. A total of 11 fetuses had pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs, 7.7%), including isolated CP (1/143, 0.7%), isolated CLP (5/143, 3.5%), and syndromic CLP (5/143, 3.5%). Compared with the CMA results, 5 fetuses were found to have an abnormal karyotype (5/139, 3.6%). However, no abnormalities were found in either karyotype analysis or CMA in the isolated CL group.CMA is a valuable tool for identifying submicroscopic chromosomal abnormalities in the prenatal diagnosis of oral clefts. An excellent outcome can be expected for fetuses with isolated CL that are negative for chromosomal abnormalities.
