Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence indicates that copy number variants (CNVs) have great relevance to common human diseases. In α-thalassemia, clinical phenotypes are related to genotypes, specifically copy number changes in the human α-globin gene cluster. Assays are available for high-throughput screening of unknown CNVs genome-wide and also for targeted CNV genotyping at loci associated with genetic disorders. Here we...
