Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Next-generation sequencing has implicated some risk variants for human spina bifida (SB), but the genome-wide contribution of structural variation to this complex genetic disorder remains largely unknown. We examined copy-number variant (CNV) participation in the genetic architecture underlying SB risk. METHODS: A high-confidence ensemble approach to genome sequences (GS) was benchmarked and employed for...
