[tri-med] Chromosome 13 study

> We are starting a new research project to test children with chromosome 13
> abnormalities by microarray. This will allows us to define much more
> precisely what is deleted, duplicated and to identify all the genes in the
> deleted/duplicated region. Since estimating which parts are deleted using
> banding alone is somewhat inexact, sometimes even the breakpoint of the
> deletion may change somewhat. The goal of our study is to use the
> precisely defined chromosome 13 deletions or duplications and the clinical
> features of the children to allow us to deduce what genes are involved
with
> what traits. This should ultimately make prediction of outcome either
> prenatally or after birth much more accurate, as well as to provide
> information to parents on what would be the best medical care for their
> children. Attached is a flyer with more information.
