Rapid prenatal diagnosis using uncultured amniocytes and oligonucleotide array CGH

Oligonucleotide‐based array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) is an established method for detecting chromosomal abnormalities. Here, we explored the feasibility of using DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes in amniotic fluid for array CGH on an oligonucleotide array platform.
