Abstract excerpt
Background: Copy number variants (CNVs) contribute significantly to normal and pathogenic genomic variations. Chromosome 17q12 microdeletion is implicated in structural or functional kidney and urethral abnormalities, MODY5 (type 5 diabetes), and neurodevelopmental or neuropsychiatric disorders.
