MCKAT: a multi-dimensional copy number variant kernel association test [PDF]
Background Copy number variants (CNVs) are the gain or loss of DNA segments in the genome. Studies have shown that CNVs are linked to various disorders, including autism, intellectual disability, and schizophrenia.

Neural excitation/inhibition imbalance and neurodevelopmental pathology in human copy number variant syndromes: a systematic review [PDF]
Cumulative evidence suggests neurodevelopmental disorders are closely related. The risk of these disorders is increased by a series of copy number variant syndromes – phenotypically heterogeneous genetic disorders, present in a minority of the population.

Targeted copy number variant identification across the neurodegenerative disease spectrum [PDF]
Background Although genetic factors are known to contribute to neurodegenerative disease susceptibility, there remains a large amount of heritability unaccounted for across the diagnoses.

Characterization of the Copy Number and Variants of Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) in the Pairs of Honey Bee Pupa and Infesting Varroa destructor or Tropilaelaps mercedesae [PDF]
Recent honey bee colony losses, particularly during the winter, have been shown to be associated with the presence of both ectoparasitic mites and Deformed Wing Virus (DWV). Whilst the role of Varroa destructor mites as a viral vector is well established,

Adaptation of ACMG-ClinGen Technical Standards for Copy Number Variant Interpretation Concordance [PDF]
This study aimed to evaluate inter-laboratory classification concordance for copy number variants (CNVs) with a semiquantitative point-based scoring metric recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and Clinical Genome ...

Copy number variant detection using next-generation sequencing in EYS-associated retinitis pigmentosa. [PDF]
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy and a major cause of blindness. RP is caused by several variants of multiple genes, and genetic diagnosis by identifying these variants is important for optimizing treatment and ...

Improvement of large copy number variant detection by whole genome nanopore sequencing [PDF]
Introduction: Whole-genome sequencing using nanopore technologies can uncover structural variants, which are DNA rearrangements larger than 50 base pairs.

CNViz: An R/Shiny Application for Interactive Copy Number Variant Visualization in Cancer [PDF]
Copy number variants (CNVs) comprise a class of mutation which includes deletion, duplication, or amplification events that range in size from smaller than a single-gene or exon, to the size of a full chromosome.

Signatures of Discriminative Copy Number Aberrations in 31 Cancer Subtypes
Copy number aberrations (CNA) are one of the most important classes of genomic mutations related to oncogenetic effects. In the past three decades, a vast amount of CNA data has been generated by molecular-cytogenetic and genome sequencing based methods.
