In prenatal diagnosis, chromosomal aberrations, such as aneuploidies and copy number variation (CNV), are one of the important reasons for ultrasound structural abnormalities and products of conceptions (POC). CNVs are pervasive in human genome and account for a large fraction of the population diversity in humans (Girirajan, Campbell, & Eichler, 2011). Many CNVs located in specific genome regions also have clinical significance or have strong associations with well-characterized genomic disorders, such as 22q11 deletion syndrome (Velocardiofacial/DiGeorge syndrome; Faas et al.,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
