High resolution comparative genomic hybridisation analysis reveals imbalances in dyschromosomal patients with normal or apparently balanced conventional karyotypes

Eur J Hum Genet. 2000 Sep;8(9):661-8. doi: 10.1038/sj.ejhg.5200512.

Abstract

A sensitive technique is needed for screening whole genome imbalances in dyschromosomal patients when G-banding shows normal karyotypes or apparently balanced translocations. In this study we performed highly sensitive comparative genomic hybridisation analysis on a number of such cases and revealed chromosomal imbalances in all.
