Copy number variants in German patients with schizophrenia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Large rare copy number variants (CNVs) have been recognized as significant genetic risk factors for the development of schizophrenia (SCZ). However, due to their low frequency (1∶150 to 1∶1000) among patients, large sample sizes are needed to detect an ...

Bias of selection on human copy-number variants. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2006
Although large-scale copy-number variation is an important contributor to conspecific genomic diversity, whether these variants frequently contribute to human phenotype differences remains unknown.

Endometriosis is associated with rare copy number variants. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Endometriosis is a complex gynecological condition that affects 6-10% of women in their reproductive years and is defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus.

Schizophrenia copy number variants and associative learning [PDF]

Molecular Psychiatry, 2016
Large-scale genomic studies have made major progress in identifying genetic risk variants for schizophrenia. A key finding from these studies is that there is an increased burden of genomic copy number variants (CNVs) in schizophrenia cases compared with

Psychopathology in adults with copy number variants [PDF]

Psychological Medicine, 2022
AbstractBackgroundCopy number variants (CNVs) have been associated with the risk of schizophrenia, autism and intellectual disability. However, little is known about their spectrum of psychopathology in adulthood.MethodsWe investigated the psychiatric phenotypes of adult CNV carriers and compared probands, who were ascertained through clinical genetics

Functional consequences of copy number variants in miscarriage [PDF]

Molecular Cytogenetics, 2015
Background: The presence of unique copy number variations (CNVs) in miscarriages suggests that their integral genes have a role in maintaining early pregnancy. In our previous work, we identified 19 unique CNVs in ~40% of studied euploid miscarriages, which were predominantly familial in origin.

On the frequency of copy number variants [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2008
Abstract Motivation: Estimating the frequency distribution of copy number variants (CNVs) is an important aspect of the effort to characterize this new type of genetic variation. Currently, most studies report a strong skew toward low-frequency CNVs. In this article, our goal is to investigate the frequencies of CNVs.

Copy number variants in pharmacogenetic genes [PDF]

Trends in Molecular Medicine, 2011
Variation in drug efficacy and toxicity remains an important clinical concern. Presently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) only explain a portion of this problem, even in situations where the pharmacological trait is clearly heritable. The Human CNV Project identified copy number variations (CNVs) across approximately 12% of the human genome, and ...

Identification of copy number variants in horses [PDF]

Genome Research, 2012
Copy number variants (CNVs) represent a substantial source of genetic variation in mammals. However, the occurrence of CNVs in horses and their subsequent impact on phenotypic variation is unknown. We performed a study to identify CNVs in 16 horses representing 15 distinct breeds (Equus caballus) and an individual gray donkey (Equus asinus) using a ...

The Coalescent with Selection on Copy Number Variants [PDF]

Genetics, 2012
AbstractWe develop a coalescent-based simulation tool to generate patterns of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a wide region encompassing both the original and duplicated genes. Selection on the new duplicated copy and interlocus gene conversion between the two copies are incorporated.
