Abstract excerpt
Copy-number variants (CNVs) have been implicated in a variety of neuropsychiatric and cognitive phenotypes. We found that deleterious CNVs are less prevalent in non-European ancestry groups than they are in European ancestry groups of both the UK Biobank (UKBB) and a US replication cohort (SPARK). We also identified specific recurrent CNVs that consistently differ in frequency across ancestry groups in both the...
