Abstract excerpt
Copy number variants (CNVs) are widely distributed throughout the human genome, where they contribute to genetic variation and phenotypic diversity. De novo CNVs are also a major cause of numerous genetic and developmental disorders. However, unlike many other types of mutations, little is known about the genetic and environmental risk factors for new and deleterious CNVs. DNA replication errors have been...
