8 An extremely complex SV involving 49 breakpoints and seven chromosomes. These results demonstrate the value of imputing SVs into GWAS, and for the eventual unification of short variants and SVs in all trait association studies. Given that short-read WGS is blind to a disproportionate fraction of repeat-mediated SVs and small insertions by comparison to long-read methods, this study certainly underestimates the true mutation rates within such hypermutable regions. Hurles, M. E., Dermitzakis, E. T. & Tyler-Smith, C. The functional impact of structural variation in humans. Pendleton, M. et al. As short-read WGS is rapidly becoming the predominant technology in large-scale human disease studies, and will probably displace conventional methods for diagnostic screening, there is a mounting need for comparable references of SVs across global populations. Structural variation has been defined as genomic alteration involving segments of DNA longer than 1 kb 1. A structural variation reference for medical and population genetics | Nature Article Open Access Published: 27 May 2020 A structural variation reference for medical and population genetics. J. Colour codes are consistent between a, c, eh, and between b and d. Although SVs alter more nucleotides per genome than SNVs and short insertion/deletion variants (indels; <50 bp)1, surprisingly little is known about their mutational spectra on a global scale. Furthermore, these SVs have been integrated directly into the gnomAD browser8. 1d, Supplementary Fig. Nonetheless, 92.7% of all known autosomal protein-coding nucleotides are not localized to simple- or low-copy repeats, and therefore we expect that the catalogues of SVs accessible to short-read WGS across large populations like gnomAD-SV will capture a majority of the most interpretable gene-disrupting SVs in humans.
