The Penetrance of Copy Number Variations for Schizophrenia and Developmental Delay
BACKGROUND Several recurrent copy number variants (CNVs) have been shown to increase the risk of developing schizophrenia (SCZ), developmental delay (DD), autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and various congenital malformations (CM). Their penetrance for SCZ has been estimated to be modest. However, comparisons between their penetrance for SCZ or DD/ASD/CM, or estimates of the total penetrance for...
متن کاملPenetrance for copy number variants associated with schizophrenia.
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 this process, we estimated the penetrance ...
متن کاملHuman subtelomeric copy number variations.
Copy number variation is a defining characteristic of human subtelomeres. Human subtelomeric segmental duplication regions ('Subtelomeric Repeats') comprise about 25% of the most distal 500 kb and 80% of the most distal 100 kb in human DNA. Huge allelic disparities seen in subtelomeric DNA sequence content and organization are postulated to have an impact on the dosage of transcripts embedded w...
متن کاملPiecewise-constant and low-rank approximation for identification of recurrent copy number variations
MOTIVATION The post-genome era sees urgent need for more novel approaches to extracting useful information from the huge amount of genetic data. The identification of recurrent copy number variations (CNVs) from array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) data can help understand complex diseases, such as cancer. Most of the previous computational methods focused on single-sample analy...
متن کاملModeling genetic inheritance of copy number variations
Copy number variations (CNVs) are being used as genetic markers or functional candidates in gene-mapping studies. However, unlike single nucleotide polymorphism or microsatellite genotyping techniques, most CNV detection methods are limited to detecting total copy numbers, rather than copy number in each of the two homologous chromosomes. To address this issue, we developed a statistical framew...
