Where this comes from

Abstract

A long-standing challenge in genomics has been to identify causal genes within rare copy-number variant regions that are intolerant to altered dosage. In this issue, Collins et al. perform a meta-analysis of almost a million individuals to identify dosage-sensitive segments and genes conferring risk for a range of disease phenotypes.
