Examination of the X chromosome by STS-PCR screening for the presence of submicroscopic deletions.
- Abstract:
-
Cytogenetically undetectable deletions are suspected to be an important cause of mental retardation and developmental delay, as suggested by the observation that about 7% of children with undiagnosed mental retardation have rearrangements affecting the chromosome ends. Screening the whole genome for regions of aneuploidy smaller than 5 Mb is not feasible, but the availability of a high resolution map of the X chromosome means that it is possible to look for deletions in males by PCR. We have ...
