Abstract excerpt
Molecular karyotyping by array comparative genomic hybridisation (array CGH) has doubled the detection rate of pathogenic chromosomal imbalances in patients. This has been possible by increasing the resolution level from the 5 Mb obtained using the conventional karyotype to as low as 100 kb by array technology. Moreover, the technology revealed that over 12% of the human genome includes sub-microscopic benign...
