Genetic screening can boost congenital heart disease detection

A recent study published in Frontiers in Genetics demonstrates that combining copy number variants sequencing (CNVs-seq) and whole exome sequencing (WES) is effective in detecting congenital heart disease (CHD). CHDs are ...

A chromosome anomaly, abnormality or aberration reflects an atypical number of chromosomes or a structural abnormality in one or more chromosomes. A Karyotype refers to a full set of chromosomes from an individual which can be compared to a "normal" Karyotype for the species via genetic testing. A chromosome anomaly may be detected or confirmed in this manner. Chromosome anomalies usually occur when there is an error in cell division following meiosis or mitosis. There are many types of chromosome anomalies. They can be organized into two basic groups, numerical and structural anomalies.
