Abstract

We describe 2 pediatric patients who presented to medical genetics clinic for evaluation and were incidentally found via array comparative genomic hybridization to have pathogenic copy number variations of cancer predisposition genes. We subsequently reviewed 3554 previous array comparative genomic hybridization results to estimate the frequency of similar incidental findings.
