Cytogenomic Microarray

Test Information

The Cytogenomic Microarray provides genome-wide detection of copy number gains and losses. In addition to detection of copy number variations (CNVs), this SNP array also allows for the analysis of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) which can be useful in identifying uniparental disomy (UPD) as well as autozygosity (identity by descent).
