Endometriosis Is Associated with Rare Copy Number Variants
Endometriosis is a complex gynecological condition that affects 6-10% of women in their reproductive years and is defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. Twin, family, and genome-wide association (GWA) studies have confirmed a genetic role, yet only a small part of the genetic risk can be explained by SNP variation. Copy number variants (CNVs) account for a ...
متن کاملPenetrance for copy number variants associated with schizophrenia.
The discovery of 'high-risk' de novo copy number variants (CNVs) associated with neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia offers the opportunity to translate these findings into useful tools for clinical geneticists. However, this will require estimation of penetrance for these variants, which has not yet been properly considered. To facilitate this process, we estimated the penetrance ...
متن کاملConfirmed rare copy number variants implicate novel genes in schizophrenia.
Understanding how cognitive processes including learning, memory, decision making and ideation are encoded by the genome is a key question in biology. Identification of sets of genes underlying human mental disorders is a path towards this objective. Schizophrenia is a common disease with cognitive symptoms, high heritability and complex genetics. We have identified genes involved with schizoph...
متن کاملContribution of Rare Copy Number Variants to Isolated Human Malformations
BACKGROUND Congenital malformations are present in approximately 2-3% of liveborn babies and 20% of stillborn fetuses. The mechanisms underlying the majority of sporadic and isolated congenital malformations are poorly understood, although it is hypothesized that the accumulation of rare genetic, genomic and epigenetic variants converge to deregulate developmental networks. METHODOLOGY/PRINCI...
متن کاملA Rare Novel Copy Number Variation of Xp22.33-p11.22 Duplication is Associated with Congenital Heart Defects.
A 30‐year‐old woman, gravida 2 para 0. Her first pregnancy at 2012 was diagnosed to be dichorionic twin pregnancy and her second pregnancy at 2014 was a singleton pregnancy. After a routine ultrasound scan at 22 week’s gestation, all the fetuses were diagnosed with critical CHDs. The first fetus (male) exhibited tetralogy of Fallot, atrial septal defect, persistent left superior vena cava, and ...
