nstd116 (Forni et al. 2015)
- Organism:
- Human
- Study Type:
- Control Set
- Submitter:
- Edward Hollox
- Description:
- In this study we use high-coverage phase 3 exome sequences of the 1000 Genomes project to infer diploid copy number of the beta-defensin genomic region, a well-studied CNV that carries several beta-defensin genes involved in the antimicrobial response, signalling, and fertility. We also use these data to call sequence variants, a particular challenge given the multicopy nature of the region. We confidently call copy number and sequence variation of the beta-defensin genes on 1285 samples from 26 global populations. See Variant Summary counts for nstd116 in dbVar Variant Summary.
