 | | Analysis of chromosomal imbalances by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) (Du Manoir et al, 1993; Joos et al, 1993; Kallioniemi et al, 1992) has greatly contributed to the current knowledge of genomic alterations associated with constitutional and sporadic genetic diseases (Forozan et al, 1997; Knuutila et al, 1998, 1999; Zitzelsberger et al, 2001). |
 | | One strategy to improve the hybridization efficiency is elevation of the hybridization temperature and simultaneous decrease of formamide (or increase of salt) concentration to adjust for the stringency of the reaction (Solinas-Toldo et al, 1997). |
 | | CGH to metaphase chromosome spreads was performed according to standard protocols (Lichter et al, 1995 and references therein). |
