title: [New technologies for genome analysis: Which use in prenatal diagnosis].
abstract: Array-CGH emergence allowed important diagnosis progress, and a better care of patients in postnatal. So, there is a great temptation to use it also in prenatal diagnosis. The point of view objective is to make a rapid overview of cytogenetic diagnosis evolution during the last 50 years, and to show all questions raised by the use of array-CGH, and problems that could arise in prenatal diagnosis. While array-CGH just comes in genetic laboratories, new diagnosis approaches emerged like whole genome sequencing or non-invasive prenatal diagnosis. The 2nd objective will be to review all these techniques for a probably close future.
