Abstract excerpt
Array-based methods have enabled the detection of many genomic gains and losses. These are stated as copy number variants (CNVs) and comprise up to 13% of the human genome. Based on their breakpoints and modes of formation CNVs are termed recurrent or nonrecurrent. Recurrent CNVs are flanked by low copy repeats and are of a fixed size. They arise as a result of misalignment during meiosis by a mechanism named...
