Genomic imbalances detected through array CGH in fetuses with holoprosencephaly by Isabela Nelly Machado, Juliana Karina Heinrich, Ricardo Barini

“…CONCLUSION: This is the first report of molecular characterization through a whole genome microarray CGH of fetuses with HPE. Our results may contribute to verify the effectiveness and applicability of the molecular technique of array CGH for prenatal diagnosis purposes, and contributing to the knowledge of the submicroscopic genomic instability characterization of HPE fetuses.…”
