Abstract excerpt
Clusters of functionally related genes can be disrupted by a single copy number variant (CNV). We demonstrate that the simultaneous disruption of multiple functionally related genes is a frequent and significant characteristic of de novo CNVs in patients with developmental disorders (P = 1 × 10(-3)). Using three different functional networks, we identified unexpectedly large numbers of functionally related genes...
