SignatureChip® Detection Rates for Holoprosencephaly
25-50% of cases with holoprosencephaly (HPE) have abnormal karyotypes, the vast majority of which are detectable by SignatureChip®.
15-20% of HPE cases with normal chromosomes will have sequence mutations in SHH, ZIC2, SIX3, or TGIF. Sequence mutations are not detectable by array CGH. A negative array CGH test result does not exclude the possibility that one or more of these genes may play a role in the subject's phenotype.
4.7% of chromosomally normal and mutation-analysis normal HPE cases have microdeletions in SHH, ZIC2, SIX3 or TGIF (Bendavid et al. 2006. Hum Genet 119:1-8. Medline). The majority of reported microdeletions are detectable by SignatureChip®.
