Contribution of rare copy number variants to isolated human malformations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Congenital malformations are present in approximately 2-3% of liveborn babies and 20% of stillborn fetuses. The mechanisms underlying the majority of sporadic and isolated congenital malformations are poorly understood, although it is ...

Copy number variants and selective sweeps in natural populations of the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Copy–number variants (CNVs) may play an important role in early adaptations, potentially facilitating rapid divergence of populations. We describe an approach to study this question by investigating CNVs present in natural populations of mice in the ...

Copy-Number Variants in Patients with a Strong Family History of Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Copy-number variants such as germ-line deletions and amplifications are associated with inherited genetic disorders including familial cancer. The gene or genes responsible for the majority of familial clustering of pancreatic cancer have not been ...

Rare germline copy number variants (CNVs) and breast cancer risk

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
Dennis et al. investigate potential breast cancer associations with rare germline copy number variants (CNVs) by conducting a genome-wide analysis in a large breast cancer case-control dataset.

Understanding the impact of 1q21.1 copy number variant [PDF]

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2011
Abstract Background 1q21.1 Copy Number Variant (CNV) is associated with a highly variable phenotype ranging from congenital anomalies, learning deficits/intellectual disability (ID), to a normal phenotype. Hence, the clinical significance of this CNV can be difficult to evaluate.

Detection of a mosaic CDKL5 deletion and inversion by optical genome mapping ends an exhaustive diagnostic odyssey

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021
Background Currently available structural variant (SV) detection methods do not span the complete spectrum of disease‐causing SVs. Optical genome mapping (OGM), an emerging technology with the potential to resolve diagnostic dilemmas, was performed to ...

iPSCORE: A Resource of 222 iPSC Lines Enabling Functional Characterization of Genetic Variation across a Variety of Cell Types. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Large-scale collections of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could serve as powerful model systems for examining how genetic variation affects biology and disease.

CANOES: detecting rare copy number variants from whole exome sequencing data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present CANOES, an algorithm for the detection of rare copy number variants from exome sequencing data. CANOES models read counts using a negative binomial distribution and estimates variance of the read counts using a regression-based approach based ...

Penetrance for copy number variants associated with schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2010
The discovery of 'high-risk' de novo copy number variants (CNVs) associated with neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia offers the opportunity to translate these findings into useful tools for clinical geneticists. However, this will require estimation of penetrance for these variants, which has not yet been properly considered. To facilitate

Gene copy-number polymorphism caused by retrotransposition in humans. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
The era of whole-genome sequencing has revealed that gene copy-number changes caused by duplication and deletion events have important evolutionary, functional, and phenotypic consequences. Recent studies have therefore focused on revealing the extent of
