Authors' objectives:
To assess the evidence available on the diagnostic usefulness, safety and coverage policy related aspects on the use of chromosomal microarrays in the etiologic diagnosis of ID/DD or AST patients.
Authors' recommendations:
The quality of evidence to consider that CMA have a higher diagnostic performance than conventional genetic tests. The evidence related to the impact of its results on clinical management and patient evolution is low quality. The potential impact of false positive results is unknown. Therefore, there is much controversy on its use in patients without dysmorphias or with highly suspected genetic etiology.
