Progress in finding pathogenic DNA copy number variations in dyslipidemia

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: DNA copy number variations (CNVs) are large-scale mutations that include deletions and duplications larger than 50 bp in size. In the era when single-nucleotide variations were the major focus of genetic technology and research, CNVs were largely overlooked. However, CNVs clearly underlie a substantial proportion of clinical disorders. Here, we update recent progress in identifying CNVs in...
