NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) — Affymetrix and the Children’s Research Institute in Wisconsin will use Affy’s GeneChip technology to identify genetic variations linked to common, complex childhood diseases, Affy said today.

 

CRI, a non-profit medical research arm of the Children's Hospital and Health System affiliated with the Medical College of Wisconsin, intends to use the data from the large-scale studies to develop diagnostics, and to “show the clinical utility of array-based molecular diagnostics,” Affy said.
