scope:
This guideline provides recommendations for the appropriate
performance, validation or verification, and interpretation of
nucleic acid microarrays used primarily for cytogenetic
applications to measure copy number (CN) imbalances, traditional
array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), and single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays for CN imbalances and absence
of heterozygosity (AOH). Both constitutional (prenatal/postnatal)
The intended users of this guideline are clinical genetics laboratorians who perform cytogenetics and molecular genetics testing.
This guideline:
- Is not intended for research laboratorians
- Is not intended to provide guidance to manufacturers
- Does not address methylation arrays, RNA expression microarrays, resequencing and genotyping arrays not intended for CN detection, microarrays for the diagnosis and monitoring of infectious diseases, or non-nucleic acid microarrays (eg, protein arrays)
