Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Accumulating evidence suggests that genomic structural variations, particularly copy number variations (CNV), are a common occurrence in humans that may bear phenotypic consequences for living individuals possessing the variant. While precise estimates vary, large-scale karyotypic abnormalities are present in 6-12% of stillbirths (SB). However, due to inherent limitations of conventional cytogenetics,...
