This is an apparently balanced rearrangement. If no gains or losses are detected at the breakpoints, this structural abnormality would be truly balanced and will yield a normal result with aCGH or CMA.
This is an unbalanced karyotype, showing trisomy 21. aCGH or CMA will show a gain of chromosome 21.
Marker chromosomes cannot be identified by banding methods alone. aCGH or CMA will show a gain of a chromosomal region from which this marker is derived if it contains euchromatin. Very small markers with only heterochromatin will show a normal result.
This is a deletion on the long arm of chromosome 7. aCGH or CMA will shown a loss of this region on chromosome 7.
This is an unbalanced rearrangement. There is an additional material of unknown origin on the distal long arm of chromosome 11. Because of this additional material, there is also a loss of chromosome material distal to band q23. aCGH or CMA will show a loss of chromosome region distal to 11q23 and a gain of the chromosomal region from which the additional material is derived.
