Parental imbalances involving chromosomes 15q and 22q may predispose to the formation of de novo pathogenic microdeletions and microduplications in the offspring.

Parental imbalances involving chromosomes 15q and 22q may predispose to the formation of de novo pathogenic microdeletions and microduplications in the offspring.

Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) led to the discovery of genetic abnormalities among patients with complex phenotype and normal karyotype. Also several apparently normal individuals have been found to be carriers of cryptic imbalances, hence the importance to perform pa...
