Abstract excerpt
Gross deletions of the NF1 gene at 17q11.2 belong to the group of 'genomic disorders' characterized by local sequence architecture that predisposes to genomic rearrangements. Segmental duplications within regions associated with genomic disorders are prone to non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR), which mediates gross rearrangements. Copy number variants (CNVs) without obvious phenotypic consequences also...
