Abstract excerpt
CNVs spanning the 2p16.3 (NRXN1) and the 15q11.2 gene rich region have been associated with severe neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. Recently, studies have also revealed that CNVs in non-coding regions play an essential role in genomic variability in addition to disease susceptibility. In this study, we describe a family affected by a wide range of psychiatric disorders including early onset...
