Genetic counseling for susceptibility loci and neurodevelopmental disorders: the del15q11.2 as an example.

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, several recurrent copy number variations (CNVs) that confer risk of neurodevelopmental disorders have been identified (e.g., del and dup 16p11.2, del15q13.3, del and dup 1q21.1, del16p13.3, del15q11.2). They are often inherited from an unaffected parent and lack phenotypic specificity. Although there is growing evidence from association studies to consider them as susceptibility CNVs, their...
