Advantages of Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA)

• Detection of a wide range of genetic abnormalities
• Enhanced assessment of the size and content of the chromosomal imbalance
• Reveals hidden genetic complexities that are not detected by standard karyotype analysis
• Detection of micro deletion/duplication syndromes, subtelomeric deletions/duplications and smaller copy number changes that are not detected by standard karyotype analysis
• Accurate genotype-phenotype correlation
• Can be used in prenatal diagnosis even in the absence of an index case
