PURPOSE: Mendelian disorders are most commonly caused by mutations identifiable by DNA sequencing. Exonic deletions and duplications can go undetected by sequencing, and their frequency in most Mendelian disorders is unknown. METHODS: We designed an array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) test with probes in exonic regions of 589 genes. Targeted testing was performed for 219 genes in 3,018 patients. We...
