Genome Arrays for the Detection of Copy Number Variations in Idiopathic Mental Retardation, Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy and Neuropsychiatric Disorders: Lessons for Diagnostic Workflow and Research

Abstract: We review the contributions and limitations of genome-wide array-based identification of copy number variants (CNVs) in the clinical diagnostic evaluation of patients with mental retardation (MR) and other brain-related disorders. In unselected MR referrals a causative genomic gain or loss is detected in 14–18% of cases. Usually, such CNVs arise de novo, are not found in healthy subjects, and have a major impact on the phenotype by altering the dosage of multiple genes. This high diagnostic yield justifies arr… Show more

“…Intermediate burdens were observed for idiopathic generealized epilepsy (IGE), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia. While CNV studies for children with ID/DD show an increase of 14.2% for large CNVs, the burden is lower for ASD [1, 21,22] with a diagnostic yield around 6-8% predominantly from de novo CNVs [18,21,22]. Studies of adults with schizophrenia and epilepsy demonstrate lower diagnostic yields of ~5% [11,12,18,23,24].…”

Studies of adults with schizophrenia and epilepsy demonstrate lower diagnostic yields of ~5% [11,12,18,23,24]. For other neurodevelopmental conditions there is either conflicting evidence for increased CNV burden, such as for bipolar disorder [25,26], or no evidence, as for Tourette's syndrome and dyslexia [19,20,27].…”

“…Molecular karyotyping is the most common technique used today in ID investigation, and gross chromosomal abnormalities explain up to 15% of the cases. 2 Despite this, more than 60% of patients have no identifiable genetic cause. 3 The recent introduction of next-generation sequencing technologies has opened new possibilities, making the detection of causal variants more economical and faster.…”
