Certain large genomic rearrangements, called copy number variants (CNVs), raise the risk for neurological and psychiatric disorders in some people. But in most working-age individuals, those high-risk CNVs have little or no impact on well-being, educational attainment or income, according to an analysis of two Finnish cohorts. “Our findings highlight that the contribution of traditional high-risk variants such as CNVs should be analyzed in a broader genetic context, rather than evaluated in isolation,” the authors write.
