| Abstract | Genetic testing with exome sequencing and genome sequencing is increasingly offered to infants and children with cardiovascular diseases. However, the rates of positive diagnoses after genetic testing within the different categories of cardiac disease and phenotypic subtypes of congenital heart disease (CHD) have been little studied. We report the diagnostic yield after next-generation sequencing in 500 patients with CHD from diverse population subgroups that were enrolled at three different sites in the Clinical Sequencing Evidence-Generating Research consortium. Patients were ascertained due to a primary cardiovascular issue comprising arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, and/or CHD, and corresponding human phenotype ontology terms were selected to describe the cardiac and extracardiac findings. We examined the diagnostic yield for patients with arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, and/or CHD and phenotypic subtypes of CHD comprising conotruncal defects, heterotaxy, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, septal defects, and "other" heart defects. We found a significant increase in the frequency of positive findings for patients who underwent genome sequencing compared to exome sequencing and for syndromic cardiac defects compared to isolated cardiac defects. We also found significantly higher diagnostic rates for patients who presented with isolated cardiomyopathy compared to isolated CHD. For patients with syndromic presentations who underwent genome sequencing, there were significant differences in the numbers of positive diagnoses for phenotypic subcategories of CHD, ranging from 31.7% for septal defects to 60% for "other". Despite variation in the diagnostic yield at each site, our results support genetic testing in pediatric patients with syndromic and isolated cardiovascular issues and in all subtypes of CHD. |
