“…For instance, altering the copy number of a dose-sensitive gene like BHLHA9 can be detrimental to disease pathogenesis, whereas changing the copy number of dose-insensitive genes is unlikely to cause harm [50]. Even within the same chromosomal region, CNVs may be associated with different phenotypes, ranges of severity, and incomplete penetration [51]. In the present study, among 39 detected cases of chromosomal abnormalities, 8 CNV-related chromosomal disorders were known to have complete penetrance: DiGeorge, Klinefelter, Down, Triple-X, Turner, Williams (duplication and deletion), and Prader-Willi/Angelman syndromes.…”
