Abstract:
Trisomy 12p syndrome is a rare chromosomal abnormality, which presents with facial dysmorphism, moderate to severe psychomotor retardation and generalized hypotonia. Here we present the prenatal sonographic findings investigated of a fetus in prenatal diagnosis with a de novo trisomy of 12p identified by array-comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH).

Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...
