Postnatal Whole Genome SNP Microarray Dx

Clinical Info

The MicroarrayDx whole-genome CMA contains 2.67 million probes placed throughout the genome that are spaced on average 880 bases apart in genic regions and approximately 1700 bases apart in non-genic regions.There are 1.9 million non-polymorphic probes for detection of copy number variants (CNVs). The array can identify deletions >25 kb including at least 25 consecutive probes and duplications >50 kb including at least 50 consecutive probes. In addition, this CMA contains 750,000 SNP probes spread throughout the genome, which provide information about regions of homozygosity (ROH) including uniparental disomy (UPD) and identity by descent (parental consanguinity) on all autosomes. Autosomal ROH is reported when at least one region of homozygosity of >10 Mb or two regions that are each >8 Mb are identified. Any additional ROH calls >5 Mb are included in the report.
