Background: Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) has been shown to be a new successful tool in identifying genetic defects underlying intellectual disability (ID) and/or developmental delay (DD). This study was designed to analyze and evaluate the potential pathogenic genomic imbalance in children with unexplained ID/DD and its association with phenotypes, and to investigate the value of array-CGH.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
