Copy number variations and clinical cytogenetic diagnosis of constitutional disorders

Lee, Charles, Iafrate, A John, Brothman, Arthur R·2007·Nature Genetics

Abstract

The recent appreciation of widespread copy number variation in the genomes of healthy human beings has presented a significant challenge to clinical cytogeneticists who wish to use genome-wide array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) assays for clinical diagnostic purposes. Clinical cytogeneticists need to differentiate between copy number variants (CNVs) that are likely to be pathogenic and CNVs that are less likely to contribute to an affected individual's clinical presentation. Unfortunately, our knowledge of the phenotypic effects of most CNVs is minimal, leading to the classification of many CNVs as genomic imbalances of unknown clinical significance. This has caused many laboratories to resist the use of higher-resolution genome-wide array CGH assays for clinical purposes. Ironically, the accumulation and annotation of such array CGH data can lead to the rapid identification of pathogenic CNVs and the definition of new genomic syndromes that, in turn, are useful for accurate clinical genetic diagnoses.

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.
