Abstract

The last two decades have seen very relevant developments of novel molecular technologies and analytical tools that have the capacity to study the almost entire genetic information of an individual at a progressively decreasing cost. Along with more traditional technologies focused on the specific analysis of one or a few regions of the genome, they provide a wide range of possibilities for the study of the molecular basis of disease. DNA microarrays and next generation sequencing are already being widely used as diagnostic tools in the prenatal and postnatal setting.
