TY - JOUR AU - Larsen, Simon Jonas AU - do Canto, Luisa Matos AU - Rogatto, Silvia Regina AU - Baumbach, Jan PY - 2018 DA - 2018/05/18 TI - CoNVaQ: a web tool for copy number variation-based association studies JO - BMC Genomics SP - 369 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - Copy number variations (CNVs) are large segments of the genome that are duplicated or deleted. Structural variations in the genome have been linked to many complex diseases. Similar to how genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have helped discover single-nucleotide polymorphisms linked to disease phenotypes, the extension of GWAS to CNVs has aided the discovery of structural variants associated with human traits and diseases.
