Microarray‐based comparative genomic hybridization and its applications in human genetics

Abstract excerpt

Through the years, several techniques capable of detecting DNA copy number changes have been developed. A number of those, such as karyotyping and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), have proven to be valuable tools in both research and diagnostics. Recently, a new technique, called microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH), has been introduced. Array CGH has proven to be a specific,...
