Such chromosomal rearrangements, which cannot be detected by using of cytogenetic banding of metaphase chromosomes, i.e. chromosomes smaller than 3 - 5 Mb, and therefore modern molecular genetic methods are used to detect them, are called "cryptic rearrangements". Their important role in human pathology is more and more significant. By using of the multiplex ligation-probe dependent amplification method (MLPA) we examined a group of 50 probands with idiopathic mental retardation. A cryptic rearrangement was found at 8 probands (16 %), at 6 of them it was demonstrably causal. Then we examined a group of 40 probands suspected of gene SHOX pathology. A cryptic rearrangement was found at 17 probands (42.5 %) and at 8 of them it was demonstrably causal. Presence of small deletion founded isolated at 7 probands was verified in a population set, but without a positive result. An analysis of mutations was made too.
