Functional Dissection of CNVs in Neurodevelopmental Traits
Understanding the contribution of copy number variants (CNVs) to human pathology remains challenging, in part because of the complex and varied influence of loci within them. In some cases, a single dosage-sensitive locus drives pathology. In other examples, multiple genes contribute to phenotypes through additive effects and through complex genetic interactions. In the previous funding period, we focused on deletion syndromes and reciprocal CNVs and asked whether we could develop tools to aid the identification of driver genes. Progress in that work has informed several areas of pathology. For example, the identification of SIN3B as a driver of a non-recurrent 230 kb deletion on 19p13.1…
