Abstract
The extensive variability of individual human genomes contributes to phenotypic variability. Structural genomic variants, and copy number variants (CNVs) in particular, have recently been rediscovered as contributors to the genomic plasticity and evolution and as pathoetiologic elements for both monogenic and complex traits. Herein we review some of the consequences of CNVs in the context of human inherited diseases. Copyright 2009 S. Karger AG, Basel.Entities:
