probands with balanced or unbalanced cryptic translocations, probands who are 
phenotypically abnormal due to uniparental disomy, and probands with small 
chromosomal deletions or duplications of any kind and especially those 
associated with the following syndromes: Angelman, Beckwith-Wiedemann, Charcot-
Marie-Tooth (Type 1A), DiGeorge, Langer-Giedeon, Kallmann, Miller-Dieker,
