摘要
基因拷贝数变异是指与参考基因组相比,长度在1 kb以上的DNA片段缺失、插入、重复和复杂多位点的变异.基因拷贝数变异存在于人类和其他哺乳动物基因组中,与包括先天性心脏病在内的一系列复杂遗传性疾病相关.基因拷贝数变异是目前的研究热点之一.该文就基因拷贝数变异的概念、检测方法、在先天性心脏病领域进展作一综述.
Deletions,insertions,duplications,and complex multi-site variants,now formally termed copy number variations(CNVs),are regions larger than 1 kb that are present with variable copy numbers in comparison with the reference genome.CNVs in humans and other mammals are associated with a series of complex genetic diseases including congenital heart disease.The studies of CNVs have become hot topics.This review mainly discusses the principle of CNVs,the detection techniques and CNVs in the pathogenesis of congenital heart
