RESUMEN
With the dramatic increase of pangenomic analysis, Human geneticists have generated large amount of genomic data including millions of small variants (SNV/indel) but also thousands of structural variations (SV) mainly from next-generation sequencing and array-based techniques. While the identification of the complete SV repertoire of a patient is getting possible, the interpretation of each SV remains challenging. To help identifying human pathogenic SV, we have developed a web server dedicated to their annotation and ranking (AnnotSV) as well as their visualization and interpretation (knotAnnotSV) freely available at the following address: https://www.lbgi.fr/AnnotSV/. A large amount of annotations from >20 sources is integrated in our web server including among others genes, haploinsufficiency, triplosensitivity, regulatory elements, known pathogenic or benign genomic regions, phenotypic data. An ACMG/ClinGen compliant prioritization module allows the scoring and the ranking of SV into 5 SV classes from pathogenic to benign. Finally, the visualization interface displays the annotated SV in an interactive way including popups, search fields, filtering options, advanced colouring to highlight pathogenic SV and hyperlinks to the UCSC genome browser or other public databases. This web server is designed for diagnostic and research analysis by providing important resources to the user.

Analysis of de novo CNVs (dnCNVs) from the full Simons Simplex Collection (SSC) (N = 2,591 families) replicates prior findings of strong association with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and confirms six risk loci (1q21.1, 3q29, 7q11.23, 16p11.2, 15q11.2-13, and 22q11.2). The addition of published CNV data from the Autism Genome Project (AGP) and exome sequencing data from the SSC and the Autism Sequencing Consortium (ASC) shows that genes within small de novo deletions, but not within large dnCNVs, significantly overlap the high-effect risk genes identified by sequencing. Alternatively, large dnCNVs are found likely to contain multiple modest-effect risk genes. Overall, we find strong evidence that de novo mutations are associated with ASD apart from the risk for intellectual disability. Extending the transmission and de novo association test (TADA) to include small de novo deletions reveals 71 ASD risk loci, including 6 CNV regions (noted above) and 65 risk genes (FDR ≤ 0.1).
