Karyotyping &#40;cytogenetic analysis&#41; has been the traditional approach to the study of chromosomes&#44; and&#44; at a resolution of 400&#8211;550 bands&#44; allowed the detection of chromosomal rearrangements and abnormalities larger than 5&#8211;10<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>Mb anywhere in the genome&#46; Karyotyping made possible the diagnosis of disorders such as Down syndrome &#40;trisomy 21&#41; or cri du chat syndrome &#40;chromosome 5p deletion syndrome&#41;&#46; Conventional karyotyping brought the genome into medical knowledge&#44; clinical practice and medical laboratories&#46; However&#44; despite encompassing the entire genome&#44; the microscopic resolution of cytogenetic analysis does not reach the molecular level of the DNA sequence&#44; which places significant limitations on its overall capacity for diagnosing genetic diseases and syndromes&#46; In the past 10 years&#44; the reach of genetic and genomic analysis has advanced spectacularly&#44; going from the analysis of chromosome and subchromosomal regions to determining the molecular sequence of DNA fragments through Sanger sequencing or larger pieces of DNA through massively parallel or next generation sequencing &#40;NGS&#41;&#46; The introduction of chromosomal microarrays&#44; or molecular karyotyping&#44; into genomic analysis and clinical practice has allowed investigation of gene number copy variations through the comparison of a patient DNA sample with reference DNA&#46; This allows the rapid and efficient detection of deletions and duplications&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> These variants or abnormalities may be the cause of neurodevelopmental or psychiatric disorders&#44; for example&#44; autism spectrum disorder&#44; as well as various genetic syndromes&#44; such as 22q11 deletion syndrome&#44; Smith-Magenis syndrome&#44; Williams syndrome or 16p11&#46;2 deletion&#47;duplication syndrome&#44; among others&#46; The use of molecular karyotype analysis increases the yield of diagnostic testing in intellectual disability&#44; genetic&#47;chromosomal disorders and in the aetiologic investigation of congenital malformations in general&#44;

Their results confirmed the findings of other studies&#58; chromosomal imbalances were found in 140 patients &#40;14&#37;&#41; out of the total 1000&#46; These results stood in contrast with the detection rate obtained with other genomic techniques&#44; such as conventional karyotype analysis and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification&#44; with which the authors only succeeded in detecting chromosomal rearrangements or imbalances in 43 patients&#46; The diagnostic yield of aCGH is&#44; therefore&#44; significantly higher&#44; especially in the assessment of global developmental delay&#47;intellectual disability &#40;18&#46;9&#37;&#41;&#44; autism spectrum disorder &#40;14&#46;8&#37;&#41; and congenital malformations &#40;13&#46;7&#37;&#41;&#46; An interesting finding was the detection of genetic abnormalities in 13&#46;3&#37; of patients with short stature&#44; something that will need to be confirmed by future studies to determine the usefulness of molecular chromosomal analysis in the aetiological investigation of short stature&#46; Although the diagnostic yield was not as high&#44; the detection of abnormalities in 7&#37; of patients with epilepsy was also relevant&#46; These results led the authors to assert that molecular chromosome analysis&#44;

clinical practice and medical laboratories&#46; However&#44; despite encompassing the entire genome&#44; the microscopic resolution of cytogenetic analysis does not reach the molecular level of the DNA sequence&#44; which places significant limitations on its overall capacity for diagnosing genetic diseases and syndromes&#46; In the past 10 years&#44; the reach of genetic and genomic analysis has advanced spectacularly&#44; going from the analysis of chromosome and subchromosomal regions to determining the molecular sequence of DNA fragments through Sanger sequencing or larger pieces of DNA through massively parallel or next generation sequencing &#40;NGS&#41;&#46; The introduction of chromosomal microarrays&#44; or molecular karyotyping&#44; into genomic analysis and clinical practice has allowed investigation of gene number copy variations through the comparison of a patient DNA sample with reference DNA&#46;
