Patterns of genic intolerance of rare copy number variation in 59,898 human exomes

Douglas Ruderfer, Shaun Purcell and colleagues characterized the rates and properties of rare genic copy number variants in exome sequencing data from nearly 60,000 individuals in the Exome Aggregation Consortium. These data are available through an integrated database that spans the spectrum of human genetic variation, aiding in the interpretation of personal genomes and population-based disease studies.
