Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although genetic factors are known to contribute to neurodegenerative disease susceptibility, there remains a large amount of heritability unaccounted for across the diagnoses. Copy number variants (CNVs) contribute to these phenotypes, but their presence and influence on disease state remains relatively understudied. METHODS: Here, we applied a depth of coverage approach to detect CNVs in 80 genes...
