Text

Of the CNVs in HapMap [7] showing association with a transcript (at p value threshold of 10−4) in the CEU and YRI samples, 31.1% and 33.1% respectively are predicting the expression of 5 or more transcripts. This is a much higher proportion than is the case for the well-tagged CNVs in the WTCCC CNV study (12.8%).
