Rare genomic deletions and duplications and their role in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract excerpt

Copy number variations (CNVs) are deletions and duplications of DNA sequences that vary in length from a few base pairs to several million. While these structural variations are often benign, they can disrupt vital biological functions and result in disease. CNVs have been identified as causal in a number of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs), including but not limited to, autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity...
