Germline rates of de novo meiotic deletions and duplications causing several genomic disorders
Open accessAbstract
Meiotic recombination between highly similar duplicated sequences (nonallelic homologous recombination, NAHR) generates deletions, duplications, inversions and translocations, and it is responsible for genetic diseases known as 'genomic disorders', most of which are caused by altered copy number of dosage-sensitive genes. NAHR hot spots have been identified within some duplicated sequences. We have developed sperm-based assays to measure the de novo rate of reciprocal deletions and duplications at four NAHR hot spots. We used these assays to dissect the relative rates of NAHR between different pairs of duplicated sequences. We show that (i) these NAHR hot spots are specific to meiosis, (ii) deletions are generated at a higher rate than their reciprocal duplications in the male germline and (iii) some of these genomic disorders are likely to have been underascertained clinically, most notably that resulting from the duplication of 7q11, the reciprocal of the deletion causing Williams-Beuren syndrome.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“NAHR can occur both in meiosis (Turner et al., 2008) and, at lower frequency, in mitotically-dividing cells as well (Lam and Jeffreys, 2006, 2007).”
From CNVs: Harbingers of a Rare Variant Revolution in Psychiatric Genetics (2012) · cites this paper as Turner et al., 2008
In the citing paper
“Many of the genes implicated in dominant diseases have been related to loss of function or haploinsufficiency, previously suggested to be more frequent and penetrant when deletions rather than duplications are involved.46”
From Convergence of genes and cellular pathways dysregulated in autism spectrum disorders (2014) · cites this paper as [46]

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.
