Compelling evidence in Caucasian populations suggests a role for copy-number variations
(CNVs) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ). We analyzed 1,108 …

Copy-number variation (CNV) is the most prevalent type of structural variation in the human
genome. There is emerging evidence that copy-number variants (CNVs) provide a new vista …

OBJECTIVE: To highlight recent discoveries in the area of genomic copy number variation in
neuropsychiatric disorders including intellectual disability, autism, and schizophrenia. To …

Copy number variations (CNVs) are implicated across many neurodevelopmental disorders
(NDDs) and contribute to their shared genetic etiology. Multiple studies have attempted to …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders with a complex
genetic etiology. We used high‐resolution whole genome array‐based comparative …

There now exist multiple lines of evidence pointing to a significant genetic component
underlying the aetiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The advent of methodologies …

Background Autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia have been associated with an
overlapping set of copy number variant loci, but the nature and degree of overlap in copy …

The identification of rare inherited and de novo copy number variations (CNVs) in human
subjects has proven a productive approach to highlight risk genes for autism spectrum …

Copy number variants (CNVs) at specific loci have been identified as important risk factors
for several neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder …

Copy number variants (CNVs) are deletions and duplications of DNA sequence. The most
frequently studied CNVs, which are described in this review, are recurrent CNVs that occur …
