Presentation title:
Comparing saliva and blood for the detection of mosaic genomic abnormalities that cause syndromic intellectual disability
The study by Francis, et al. (2022) selected patients who underwent CMA testing of both blood (n = 23,289) and saliva (n = 21,857) samples. The researchers aimed to determine whether SNP-microarray genomic testing of saliva (collected using the OC-175, ORAcollectTM kit for pediatrics) had a greater diagnostic yield than blood for pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs).
Painless and reliable DNA collection with ORAcollectTM for pediatrics device
Designed for young donors, ORAcollectTM for pediatrics device offers a non-invasive DNA collection experience that is gentle and fast for both the donor and the person assisting.
