Clinical Significance
Prenatal diagnosis of copy number changes (gains or losses) across the entire genome

Diagnosing chromosomal causes for fetal death

Determining recurrence risk of future pregnancy losses

Determining the size, precise breakpoints, gene content, and any unappreciated complexity of abnormalities detected by other methods, such as conventional chromosome and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies

Determining if apparently balanced abnormalities identified by previous conventional chromosome studies have cryptic imbalances, as a proportion of such rearrangements that appear balanced at the resolution of a chromosome study are actually unbalanced when analyzed by higher-resolution chromosomal microarray

Assessing regions of homozygosity related to uniparental disomy or identical by descent


Performing Laboratory
Mayo Clinic Laboratories, Rochester, Minnesota
