Using Microarray-based Molecular Cytogenetic Methods to Identify Chromosome Abnormalities

CME Educational Objectives 1. Differentiate between traditional banding methods and molecular cytogenetic techniques for chromosome analysis. 2. Demonstrate the benefits and limitations to microarray-based methods for chromosome analysis. 3. Interpret differences in detection rates between traditional chromosome analysis and microarray-based cytogenetics for the identification of chromosome abnormalities in children.
