title: [Array-comparative genomic hybridization is a new and promising method for prenatal chromosomal diagnosis].
abstract: Array-comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) is a very sensitive method for identifying chromosomal imbalances and is now used on a clinical basis for prenatal diagnosis. This article reviews the advantages and disadvantages of the method, the ethical considerations and the current recommendations for prenatal use in Denmark according to a new national guideline from The Danish Society of Foetal Medicine and the Danish Society of Medical Genetics.
