摘要
Neuropsychiatric conditions such as autism and schizophrenia have long been attributed to genetic alterations, but identifying the genes responsible has proved challenging. Microarray experiments have now revealed abundant copy- number variation - a type of variation in which stretches of DNA are duplicated, deleted and sometimes rearranged - in the human population. Genes affected by copy- number variation are good candidates for research into disease susceptibility. The complexity of neuropsychiatric genetics, however, dictates that assessment of the biomedical relevance of copy- number variants and the genes that they affect needs to be considered in an integrated context.
