A genetic test known as chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) could help identify the cause of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or its counterpart in older children, known as sudden unexplained ...

Would you want to know if your unborn baby is at risk of autism? Researchers wrapping up a 4,406-patient study say that a new genetic test that analyzes fetal DNA in more detail than current prenatal ...

Microarray testing can only be performed on an amniocentesis or CVS. These tests are more advanced than NIPT and are capable of looking at chromosomes to find out if any of them are missing a small ...

Pregnancy loss may occur in as many as 25% of all pregnancies. Most of these losses occur in the first trimester, and about ...

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 ...

An international consortium of genetics experts has issued a consensus statement recommending chromosomal microarray (CMA) as the new standard practice for genetic evaluation of children with ...

The data, which is being presented at this year's AMP meeting, offers some insights into the often hidden causes of recurrent pregnancy loss.

Most people are born with 46 chromosomes that are divided into 23 pairs. Chromosome pairs carry genes from each parent, which determine a person’s physical characteristics, like their height or eye ...

The human brain is a highly complex structure, and its normal development and functioning is critically dependent on the proper and tightly regulated activity of a large number of genes. Indeed, ...

New studies reveal that optical genome mapping (OGM) can detect chromosomal abnormalities linked to recurrent pregnancy loss, ...
