| Research Abstract |
In order to identify genes related to pathogenesis and progression of human diseases, we developed various genomic DNA-array platforms as analytical tools for structural human genome variations, and performed analyses of cryptic copy-number alterations in patients with multiple congenital anomaly/mental retardation (MCA/MR) using these tools. Through systematic array-assisted approach and additional analyses of genes located within regions with copy-number variations, we established technical bases of genomic arrays as diagnostic tools and identified various disease-related regions/genes in patients with MCA/MR.
