Figure 1

Increase frequency of DNA copy number variation (CNVs) in neural tissue compared to the blood. (a) The mean of the total CNVs detected in independent blood () and cerebellum tissue () samples; , Mann–Whitney test. (b) The mean of the total CNVs detected in paired blood and cerebellum samples from 19 random individuals; , Mann–Whitney test. (c) Example of a CNV absent in the blood and observed in the cerebellum. Images extracted from Genomic Workbench software.
