1q21.1 distal copy number variants are associated with cerebral and cognitive alterations in humans

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2021
Low-frequency 1q21.1 distal deletion and duplication copy number variant (CNV) carriers are predisposed to multiple neurodevelopmental disorders, including schizophrenia, autism and intellectual disability.

Copy Number Variants in Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesJournal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2016
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating disease mainly afflicting elderly people, characterized by decreased cognition, loss of memory, and eventually death. Although risk and deterministic genes are known, major genetics research programs are underway to gain further insights into the inheritance of AD.

Identification of copy number variants in horses [PDF]

open access: yesGenome 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 ...

MYC amplifications are common events in childhood osteosarcoma

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research, 2021
Osteosarcoma, the most common primary malignant tumour of bone, affects both children and adults. No fundamental biological differences between paediatric and adult osteosarcoma are known.

The individual and global impact of copy number variants on complex human traits

open access: yesmedRxiv, 2021
Copy number variations (CNVs) have been involved in multiple genomic disorders but their impact on complex traits remains understudied. We called CNVs in the UK Biobank and performed genome-wide association scans (GWASs) between the copy-number of CNV ...

Schizophrenia copy number variants and associative learning [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular 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 controls.

A Genetics-First Approach to Dissecting the Heterogeneity of Autism: Phenotypic Comparison of Autism Risk Copy Number Variants.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Psychiatry, 2020
OBJECTIVE Certain copy number variants (CNVs) greatly increase the risk of autism. The authors conducted a genetics-first study to investigate whether heterogeneity in the clinical presentation of autism is underpinned by specific genotype-phenotype ...

Genomic characteristics of miscarriage copy number variants [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Human Reproduction, 2015
Studies of copy number variants (CNVs) in miscarriages are rare in comparison to post-natal cases with developmental abnormalities. The overall characteristics of miscarriage CNVs (size, gene content and function) are therefore largely unexplored. Our goal was to assess and compare the characteristics of CNVs identified in 101 euploid miscarriages from

Cognitive performance and functional outcomes of carriers of pathogenic copy number variants: analysis of the UK Biobank

open access: yesBritish Journal of Psychiatry, 2019
Background Rare copy number variants (CNVs) are associated with risk of neurodevelopmental disorders characterised by varying degrees of cognitive impairment, including schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability.
