Widening the spectrum of human genetic variation

SNP genotyping platforms have been used to discover ∼1,000 deletion structural variants within the human genome, with median lengths ranging from 500 bp to 10.5 kb. Analyses of a subset of these provide compelling evidence of linkage disequilibrium with flanking SNPs.
