Using iPSCs and genomics to catch CNVs in the act

Alexander Eckehart Urban et al. Nat Genet. 2015 Feb.

Abstract

Large copy number variants (CNVs) are strongly associated with morphogenetic processes and common neurodevelopmental disorders. A new study uses the example of Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) and Williams-Beuren region duplication syndrome to illustrate how induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and next-generation genomics can lead to a better understanding of complex genetics.
