Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to gather fetal cases carrying a 7q11.23 copy number variation (CNV) and collect precise clinical data to broaden knowledge of antenatal features in these syndromes. METHODS We retrospectively recruited unrelated cases with 7q11.23 deletion, known as Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), or 7q11.23 duplication who had prenatal ultrasound findings. We collected laboratory and clinical data, fetal ultrasound, cardiac ultrasound and fetal autopsy reports from 18 prenatal diagnostic centers throughout France. RESULTS 40 fetuses with WBS were collected and the most common features were intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR) (70.0%, 28/40), cardiovascular defects (30.0%, 12/40), polyhydramnios (17.5%, 7/40) and protruding tongue (15.0%, 6/40). Fetal autopsy reports were available for 11 cases and were compared with ultrasound prenatal features. Four cases of fetuses with 7q11.23 microduplication were collected and prenatal ultrasound signs were variable and often isolated. CONCLUSION This work strengthens the fact that 7q11.23 CNVs are associated with a broad spectrum of antenatal presentations. IUGR and cardiovascular defects were the most frequent ultrasound signs. By reporting the biggest series of antenatal WBS, we aim to better delineate distinctive signs in fetuses with 7q11.23 CNVs.

Abstract
In this report, we describe a rare case of prenatal diagnosis of Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS). While the prenatal diagnosis of WBS is very rare, in the current case, WBS was diagnosed in early pregnancy. The key element was the detection of fetal hands hypotonia and generalized fetal hypotonia at 17 weeks of gestation. This led to the diagnosis of WBS by molecular karyotyping, specifically array comparative genomic hybridization (arrayCGH) of the fetal DNA. The genetic material was acquired by extraction from the fetal cells which are abundant in the amniotic fluid drawn by amniocentesis. Clinical hypotonia of the affected individuals is a clinical characteristic that is widely associated with WBS; however, fetal hypotonia has not been described as a diagnostic criterion for the prenatal diagnosis of WBS.

Abstract
Objective To share our experience on prenatal diagnosis of Williams-Beuren syndrome(WBS) and to improve the awareness, diagnosis, and intrauterine monitoring of the fetuses of this disease. Methods The study retrospectively evaluated 14 cases of WBS diagnosed prenatally by single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array). Clinical data from these cases were systematically reviewed, including maternal demographics, indications for invasive prenatal diagnosis, ultrasound findings, SNP-array results, trio-medical exome sequencing (Trio-MES) results, QF-PCR results, pregnancy outcomes and follow-ups. Results A total of 14 fetuses were diagnosed with WBS and their prenatal phenotypes were assessed retrospectively. In our case series, the most common ultrasound features were intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), congenital cardiovascular defects, abnormal fetal placental doppler indices, thickened nuchal translucency(NT) and polyhydramnios. Other less common ultrasound features include fetal hydrops, hydroderma, bilateral pleural effusion, subependymal cysts, etc. Parental chromosome analysis was performed in seven pairs of parents, and all the deletions on chromosome 7q11.23 were de novo. Conclusion Prenatal ultrasound features of WBS cases are highly variable, with IUGR, cardiovascular abnormalities and abnormal fetal placental doppler indices, being the most common intrauterine phenotypes. Our case series expand the intrauterine phenotypes of WBS, including cardiovascular abnormalities right aortic arch(RAA) combined with persistent right umbilical vein(PRUV) and elevated the ratio of end-systolic peak flow velocity to end-diastonic peak flow velocity(S/D). In the meantime, with the decrease in the cost of the next-generation sequencing, the method may become widely used in prenatal diagnosis in the near future.

Abstract
Prenatal sonographic depiction of congenital vertical talus (rocker bottom feet), describing a prominent calcaneus and rounded convex appearance of the ventral aspect of the foot, has been reported with fetal Trisomies 18, 13, 9 HOXD10 mutations and recently 2q13 microdeletion. We present a 24 year old in whom mid-trimester sonographic finding of isolated bilateral rocker bottom feet led to diagnosis of 7q11.23 microdeletion-Williams syndrome. This association has not been reported previously. This case emphasizes the critical assessment of detail microarray upon prenatal sonographic notation of abnormal structural fetal features.

Abstract
Background There are a few literature reports of prenatal ultrasound manifestations of Williams-Beuren syndrome. We aimed to explore the prenatal diagnosis of Williams-Beuren syndrome by ultrasound and chromosomal microarray analysis and describe the prenatal ultrasound performance of this syndrome. Methods In this retrospective study, we reported eight cases of Williams-Beuren syndrome diagnosed at our prenatal diagnostic center from 2016 to 2021. We systematically reviewed clinical data from these cases, including indications for invasive testing, sonographic findings, QF-PCR results, chromosomal microarray analysis results, and pregnancy outcomes. Results In this study, the common ultrasound features were ventricular septal defect (37.5%), intrauterine growth retardation (25%), and aortic coarctation (25%). Moreover, all patients were found to have a common deletion in the Williams-Beuren syndrome chromosome region at the 7q11.23 locus, which contained the elastin gene. Deletion sizes ranged from 1.42 to 2.07 Mb. Seven parents asked for termination of pregnancy, and one patient was lost to follow-up. Conclusions This study is the most extensive prenatal study using chromosomal microarray analysis technology for detailed molecular analysis of Williams-Beuren syndrome cases. We reported three cases combined with first-reported ultrasound manifestations. Case 1 was concomitant with multicystic dysplastic kidney and duodenal atresia combined with case 3. Notably, case 4 was combined with multiple cardiovascular malformations: Tetralogy of Fallot, right aortic arch, and supravalvar aortic stenosis. These manifestations expand the intrauterine ultrasound phenotype of Williams-Beuren syndrome in previous literature reports.

Abstract
Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a well-defined multisystem chromosomal disorder that is caused by a chromosome 7q11.23 region heterozygous deletion. We explored prenatal diagnosis of WBS by ultrasound as well as multiple genetic methods to characterize the structural variants of WBS prenatally. Expanded noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT-plus) was elected as a regular prenatal advanced screen for risk assessments of fetal chromosomal aneuploidy and genome-wide microdeletion/microduplication syndromes at the first trimester. At the second and three trimester, seven prenatal cases of WBS were evaluated for the indication of the invasive testing, the ultrasound features, cytogenetic, single-nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array), and fluorescent quantitative PCR (QF-PCR) results. The NIPT-plus results for seven fetuses were low risk. All cryptic aberrations were detected by the SNP array as karyotyping analyses were negative. Subsequently, QF-PCR further confirmed the seven deletions. Combining our cases with 10 prenatal cases from the literature, the most common sonographic features were intrauterine growth retardation (82.35%, 14/17) and congenital cardiovascular abnormalities (58.82%, 10/17). The manifestations of cardiovascular defects mainly involve supravalvar aortic stenosis (40%, 4/10), ventricular septal defect (30%, 3/10), aortic coarctation (20%, 2/10), and peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis (20%, 2/10). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first largest prenatal study of WBS cases with detailed molecular analysis. Aortic coarctation combined with persistent left superior vena cava and right aortic arch cardiovascular defects were first reported in prenatal WBS cases by our study.

Abstract
Congenital heart diseases are a common prenatal finding. The prenatal identification of an associated genetic syndrome or a major extracardiac anomaly helps to understand the etiopathogenic diagnosis. Besides, it also assesses the prognosis, management, and familial recurrence risk while strongly influences parental decision to choose termination of pregnancy or postnatal care. This review article describes the most common genetic diagnoses associated with a prenatal finding of a congenital heart disease and a suggested diagnostic process.

Abstract
Key Clinical Message Copy losses/gains of the Williams–Beuren syndrome (WBS) region cause neurodevelopmental disorders with variable expressivity. The WBS prenatal diagnosis cannot be easily performed by ultrasound because only few phenotypic features can be assessed. Three WBS and the first reciprocal duplication prenatal cases are described with a review of the literature.
