Abstract Background This study aimed to screen southern and southwestern Chinese individuals using expanded carrier screening (ECS), which explores the carrier status of recessively inherited diseases in southern and southwestern China, evaluates the clinical effectiveness of ECS application, and helps recognize high-risk fetuses that may have genetic disorders early in pregnancy, to provide better reproductive guidance. Methods ECS for 220 diseases based on next-generation sequencing was performed on 3024 southern and southwestern Chinese individuals (1512 couples). Carrier status was analyzed; genes and loci with high frequencies of variants and on high-risk couples (ARCs) were focused to evaluate the clinical utility of our ECS technology and provide them precise fertility guidance. Results In total, Pathogenic/likely pathogenic(P/LP) variants were found in 1885 individuals, so the carrier frequency was 62.3%, and 23.2% of the individuals were carriers of multiple diseases. furthermore, 2837 variants were detected, and the average number of P/LP variants carried per subject was 0.938. Additionally, 128 ARCs carried P/LP variants of the same gene, and the theoretical incidence rate in their offspring was as high as 2.12%. Conclusion This study validated the application of our ECS technique for carrier screening in southern China, identifying carrier status and providing accurate carrier frequencies for hundreds of genetic diseases. |
