Abstract excerpt
Chromosome 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is mediated by high-identity polymorphic low-copy repeats (LCRA-to-D) that have been challenging to sequence characterize. We sequence-resolved 135 chromosome 22q11.2 haplotypes from diverse humans and define 63 distinct structural configurations differing in size by 11-fold for LCRA. This diversity is driven by a 105 kbp segmental duplication flanked by 25...
