Abstract excerpt
Human genetics is providing much needed clues to mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric disorders. Highly penetrant copy number variants (CNVs) were among the first genetic variants confidently associated with schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Despite their structural complexity, the high penetrance of CNVs associated with neuropsychiatric disorders suggested utility for construction of cellular...
