Abstract excerpt
Complex de novo structural variants (dnSVs) are crucial genetic factors in rare disorders, yet their prevalence and characteristics in rare disorders remain poorly understood. Here, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of whole-genome sequencing data of 12,568 families, including 13,698 offspring with rare diseases, obtained as part of the UK 100,000 Genomes Project.
