Abstract excerpt
We used Affymetrix 6.0 GeneChip SNP arrays to characterize copy number variations (CNVs) in a cohort of 70 patients previously characterized on lower-density oligonucleotide arrays affected by idiopathic mental retardation and dysmorphic features. The SNP array platform includes approximately 900,000 SNP probes and 900,000 non-SNP oligonucleotide probes at an average distance of 0.7 Kb, which facilitates coverage...
