Copy Number Variants in the 11p15.5 Associated Imprinting Disorders: An Attempt to Establish a Genotype–Phenotype Correlation

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Copy number variations (CNVs) in 11p15.5 account for more than 2% of the molecular disturbances in the imprinting disorders Beckwith–Wiedemann and Silver–Russell syndrome. Their size and gene content vary, and therefore the impact on the phenotype is variable. Based on published data from > 220 carriers, an overview of the pathogenicity of 11p15.5 CNVs
