Abstract

Structural genetic variation, including copy-number variation (CNV), constitutes a substantial fraction of total genetic variability and the importance of structural genetic variants in modulating human disease is increasingly being recognized. Early successes in identifying disease-associated CNVs via a candidate gene approach mandate that future disease association studies need to include structural genetic variation. Such analyses should not rely on previously developed methodologies that were designed to evaluate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Instead, development of novel technical, statistical, and epidemiologic methods will be necessary to optimally capture this newly-appreciated form of genetic variation in a meaningful manner.

  • CNV measurements are used for routine screening in clinical diagnostics and their analysis can assist in subsequent prognostic monitoring.

    “CNV measurements are used for routine screening in clinical diagnostics and their analysis can assist in subsequent prognostic monitoring (6,7).”

    From Comparison of microfluidic digital PCR and conventional quantitative PCR for measuring copy number variation (2012) · cites this paper as [7]

    The Technical Challenges and Statistical Challenges sections discuss CNV detection and measurements for disease-association research, not routine clinical diagnostic screening. The Conclusions discuss possible future therapies, but do not address prognostic monitoring. Searches for clinical screening, diagnosis, and prognosis found no passage supporting the attributed uses; page numbers were not provided in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.75)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
