June 14, 2010 — Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have nearly 20% more gene copy number variations (CNVs) overall and more than 60% more CNVs in genes associated with ...

We learn that we inherit two copies of every gene, one from each of our parents, but the story is a bit more complex. Some parts of the genome may be duplicated, or deleted, in some people. The number ...

Various approaches have been developed to identify and quantitate copy-number variation. A new, high-resolution approach that already shows promise is digital PCR. As illustrated by many research ...

The amylase gene family, particularly AMY1, exhibits extensive copy number variation (CNV) that modulates salivary amylase production and, consequently, the efficiency of dietary starch digestion.

Targeted resequencing of DNA allows researchers to focus on genes of interest for cost-effective analysis of genetic variations. Typically, to analyze single nucleotide mutations and copy number ...

Researchers used whole genome microarray genotyping on 272 bicuspid aortic valve patients with early onset valve or aortic disease and 272 biological relatives. They analyzed all copy number ...
