Abstract excerpt
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) was carried out for a couple carrying a de-novo deletion in the TSC2 gene, responsible for tuberous sclerosis. Karyomapping, a method employing genome-wide analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), was used as PGD protocol. Analysis of DNA from the affected parent using karyomapping confirmed the region covered by the deletion and revealed more than 30 SNP located...
