Chunk #42 — Results — Analysis of rare transmitted CNVs in the SSC — Rare transmitted CNVs do not show genome-wide association in the SSC

Source
Multiple recurrent de novo CNVs, including duplications of the 7q11.23 Williams syndrome region, are strongly associated with autism.
Embedded
yes

Text

Finally, we looked for evidence of association for any other CNVs in the SSC sample, evaluating all high-confidence autosomal CNVs together with all confirmed de novo CNVs. In this instance, we did not use a frequency cutoff to define a set of rare transmitted events. A total of 3,667 recurrent regions were identified; 6 showed relative enrichment in probands and 5 in siblings. No result reaches significance after correction for multiple comparisons (Table S7, Figure 7C). The region showing the greatest difference in probands compared to siblings was 16p11.2 (p=0.001).
