Chromosomal microarray analysis to assess copy-number variation has become a first-tier genetic diagnostic test for individuals with unexplained neurodevelopmental disorders or multiple congenital anomalies. More than 100 cytogenetic laboratories worldwide use the new ultra-high resolution Affymetrix CytoScan-HD array to genotype hundreds of thousands of samples per year. Our aim was to develop a copy-number variation resource from a new population sample that would enable more accurate interpretation of clinical genetics data on this microarray platform and others.
