Abstract excerpt
Copy number variants (CNVs) are a major source of genetic variation and can disrupt genes or affect gene dosage. They are known to be causal or underlie predisposition to various diseases. However, the role of CNVs in inherited breast cancer susceptibility has not been thoroughly investigated. To address this, we performed whole-exome sequencing based analysis of rare CNVs in 98 high-risk Northern Finnish breast...
