Copy Number Variants in German Patients with Schizophrenia
Large rare copy number variants (CNVs) have been recognized as significant genetic risk factors for the development of schizophrenia (SCZ). However, due to their low frequency (1∶150 to 1∶1000) among patients, large sample sizes are needed to detect an association between specific CNVs and SCZ. So far, the majority of genome-wide CNV analyses have focused on reporting only CNVs that reached a s...
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 کاملCopy number variants and pharmacogenomics.
The earliest pharmacogenomic studies focused on highly penetrant sequence polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes. The recent discovery of the widespread occurrence of copy number variants/polymorphisms in the human genome holds promise for new pharmacogenomic discoveries, aside from the commonly used single nucleotide polymorphism approach. Here we review the discovery of copy number varian...
متن کاملmitochondrial copy number and d-loop variants in pompe patients
objective: pompe disease is a rare neuromuscular genetic disorder and is classified into two forms of early and late-onset. over the past two decades, mitochondrial abnormalities have been recognized as an important contributor to an array of neuromuscular diseases. we therefore aimed to compare mitochondrial copy number and mitochondrial displacement-loop sequence variation in infantile and ad...
