Abstract excerpt
Despite successes in identifying genetic contributors to common metabolic phenotypes, only part of the heritable component of these traits has thus far been explained. Copy number variation (CNV) is likely to be responsible for some of the unexplained variation. As observed with single nucleotide changes, it is probable that both rare and common CNVs will contribute to susceptibility to metabolic disease. For...
