Advancements in technologies have revolutionized the genetic landscape. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) becomes a proven method and is implemented to detect gains and losses of DNA and absence of heterozygosity across the genome. Next-generation sequencing technologies have brought opportunities and challenges to genetic testing, its prenatal application is an emerging field. We describe our experience using FetalChip, a CMA for prenatal research developed in our laboratory and describe the role of CMA in the era of genome sequencing.
Learning Objectives
The role of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in prenatal genetic clinical research.
CMA is a well-established and proven technology to identify pathogenic CNVs
