Copy number variation prevalence in known asthma genes and their impact on asthma susceptibility

Genetic studies have identified numerous genes reproducibly associated with asthma, yet these studies have focussed almost entirely on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and virtually ignored another highly prevalent form of genetic variation: Copy Number Variants (CNVs).
