PG - Unit 8.10 LID - 10.1002/0471142905.hg0810s14 [doi] AB - This unit opens with an overview of microdeletions and methods for their detection. It goes on to describe a vast array of autosomal microdeletion syndromes, X-linked microdeletion syndromes, and microduplication syndromes. The final portion of the unit offers guidance for detecting such syndromes with Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH).
