Detection of cryptic balanced chromosomal rearrangements using high-resolution optical genome mapping
16 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chromosomal rearrangements have profound consequences in diverse human genetic diseases. Currently, the detection of balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) mainly relies on routine cytogenetic G-banded karyotyping. However, cryptic BCRs are hard to detect by karyotyping, and the risk of miscarriage or delivering abnormal offspring with congenital malformations in carrier couples is significantly...
