Copynumbervariants(CNVs)aremajorcontributorstoneuropsychiatric
disordersincludingAutismspectrumdisorders(ASD),schizophrenia(SZ)
and intellectual disabilities (ID).The effect of these variants on brain
development, cognition,behaviourand the mechanisms by which they
lead to clinical manifestations remain, however, largely unknown. Our
research aims at dissecting the contribution of genomic loci to NDs and
investigates how multiple loci may converge on key neurobiological
mechanismsleadingtoimpairmentanddisabilities.
