Penetrance for copy number variants associated with schizophrenia.

For: All,

This study estimates the likelihood (penetrance) that a 16p11.2 copy number variant will lead to schizophrenia, finding a 2–7% chance, and explains that while these variants increase risk for multiple conditions including autism and epilepsy, their overall impact on development may be broader than any single diagnosis—useful context for families discussing genetic counseling.
