- Poster: Array CGH characterizes abnormal prenatal karyotypes and identifies chromosome imbalances missed by conventional cytogenetics. Thursday 2:00-3:00pm. (Program number 1485).
- Poster: Deletion of the SOX5 gene at 12p12.1 is associated with autistic-like behavior and severe language delays. Friday 10:00-11:00am. (Program number 2575).
Signature Scientific Microarray Conference White Paper
Signature recently published a white paper summarizing some of the highlights of the 2009 Signature Scientific Microarray Conference.
The white paper, written by Dr. Michael McCarthy, former senior editor of The Lancet, documents the valuable information shared at the conference, highlighting six of the 24 abstracts presented over three days.
Dr. McCarthy’s white paper is an insightful look at the current state of microarray diagnostic technology and will be a valuable resource for those who attending the conference as well as those who missed it.
To ensure you do not miss out on next year's conference, June 17-19, 2010, visit our website for more information.
