Our study aimed to develop a cus- tomized preconception-to-neonate care trajectory to fulfill this clinical demand by integrating preimplantation genetic diagno- sis （PGD）, noninvasive prenatal testing （NIPT）, and noninvasive prenatal diagnosis （N1PD） into the strategy. Auditory and ge- netic diagnosis of the proband child was carried out to identify the disease causative mutations. The couple then received in-vitro-fertilization treatment, and eight embryos were obtained for day 5 biopsy. PGD was performed by short-tandem-repeat linkage analysis and Sanger sequencing of GJB2 gene. Transfer of a GJB2c.235delC heterozygous embryo resulted in a sin- gleton pregnancy. At the 13th week of gestation, genomic DNA （gDNA） from the trio family and cell-free DNA （cfDNA） from maternal plasma were obtained for assessment of fetal chromosomal aneuploidy and GJB2 mutations. NIPT and NIPD showed the absence of chromosomal aneuploidy and GJB2-associated disease in the fetus, which was later confirmed by inva- sire procedures and postnatal genetic/auditory diagnosis. This strategy successfully prevented the transmission of hearing im- pairment in the newborn, thus providing a valuable experience in reproductive management of similar cases and potentially other monogenic disorders.展开更多
