Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarrays can easily identify whole-chromosome isodisomy but are unable to detect whole-chromosome heterodisomy. However, most cases of uniparental disomy (UPD) ...

Single nucleotide polymorphism microarrays have introduced the possibility of unbiased association screens, or GWAS, but can also be utilized for very-high-density linkage analysis. The first use of ...

The human genome project was undertaken to determine the human DNA sequence and analyze variation among individuals. To make use of this information, tools were developed that could collect and ...

Microarray technology has come of age as a powerful approach to revealing the genome and its dynamic expression through the application of gene-hybridization or gene-expression microarrays. While the ...

A 58-year-old woman with debilitating ankylosing spondylitis who was born to consanguineous parents was found to have an apparent severe vitamin D deficiency that did not respond to supplementation.

Copy number variants (CNVs) are duplications or deletions of at least 1 kb of genetic material and have recently been recognized to make a large contribution to genetic diversity (reviewed in [3]).
