Benign and Pathological Chromosomal Imbalances
Microscopic and Submicroscopic Copy Number Variations (CNVs) in Genetics and Counseling
Description
Key Features
- Shows how to define the inheritance and formation of cytogenetically visible copy number variations using cytogenetic and molecular approaches for genetic diagnostics, patient counseling, and treatment plan development
- Uniquely classifies all known variants by chromosomal origin, saving time and money for researchers in reviewing benign and pathologic variants before costly molecular methods are used to investigate
- Side-by-side comparison of copy number variants with their recently identified submicroscopic form, aiding technology assessment using aCGH and other techniques
Readership
Clinical Cytogeneticists, genetic technologists, supervisors and lab directors, as well as related health professionals seeking to review or contribute to chromosomal analysis and reporting
