The ClariView Array  is a uniquely designed microarray for patients with:

  • Intellectual Disability (ID)
  • Developmental Delay (DD)
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

This array offers:

  • Very high resolution in critical regions: detects exonic deletions and duplications as small as 1kb in 811 genes relevant to ID/ DD/ ASD, making this assay a first-line test for this group of patients.
  • Increased probe coverage in known disease regions and around genes associated with specific Mendelian traits to detect changes ≥50 kb
  • Backbone coverage in non-disease regions to detect changes ≥150 kb1 
  • 30,000 SNP probes are placed in the genome to detect AOH larger than 5-10 Mb2

Ordering Guidance

Karyotype (chromosome analysis) and CMA generally should not be ordered at the same time. CMA is the first-tier test to screen for patients with non-specific intellectual disability/developmental delay (ID/DD), multiple congenital anomalies (MCA), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).  If the patient has features of a specific syndrome, it is generally better to test for that specific syndrome before ordering CMA.

Methods
Agilent 4x180k CMA

  1. The American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) practice guidelines state that copy number variants ≥400 kb should be detectable by CMA.
  2. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are included as an additional means of determining CNVs, as well as a means of identifying stretches of areas of homozygosity (AOH). If there is copy neutral (no deletion or duplication) AOH, it indicates that there may be a shared common ancestor between the parents or uniparental disomy (UPD) of that region. It may also help to identify possible autosomal recessive conditions.
