Copy number and SNP microarrays are being routinely used in diagnostic laboratories for the evaluation of individuals with intellectual disability and neurodevelopmental disorders. Current guidelines by American College of Medical Genetics ensure that the cryptic syndromic genomic alterations are detected by this technology. However, the clinical specificity and sensitivity of different platforms varies greatly. The applications of oligonucleotide and/or SNP arrays and the diagnostic utility of this technology in a clinical setting will be presented.
