Notably, pathogenic variants are not limited to single-nucleotide variants. It has become apparent that human diseases can also be caused by copy number variations （CNVs）, especially patient- specific novel CNVs （lafrate et al., 2004; Sebat et al., 2004; Redon et al., 2006; LuDski, 2007; Zhan~ et al.. 2009： Wu et al.. 2015）.展开更多
