Hello Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Don't worry much. Stay calm.
you can take second opinion of fetal medicine expert. just consult another doctor without telling any history and let him/her explain the situation. first confirm that everything is true.
and there are mutation in genes which are not predictable. it is true that you don not have family history but mutation in genes can occur at any time. there can be miscarriage. this test is safe for your wife but baby is at risk that you know.
Hope this information helps you.
Best wishes.
