Karyotype versus Microarray Testing for Genetic Abnormalities after Stillbirth
5 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic abnormalities have been associated with 6 to 13% of stillbirths, but the true prevalence may be higher. Unlike karyotype analysis, microarray analysis does not require live cells, and it detects small deletions and duplications called copy-number variants.
