摘要We aimed to develop a whole-genome sequencing(WGS)-based copy number variant(CNV)calling algorithm with the potential of replacing chromosomal microarray assay(CMA)for clinical diagnosis.JAX-CNV is thus developed for CNV detection from WGS data.The perfor-mance of this CNV calling algorithm was evaluated in a blinded manner on 31 samples and com-pared to the 112 CNVs reported by clinically validated CMAs for these 31 samples.The result showed that JAX-CNV recalled 100%of these CNVs.Besides,JAX-CNV identified an average of 30 CNVs per individual,representing an approximately seven-fold increase compared to calls of clinically validated CMAs.Experimental validation of 24 randomly selected CNVs showed one false positive,i.e.,a false discovery rate(FDR)of 4.17%.A robustness test on lower-coverage data revealed a 100%sensitivity for CNVs larger than 300 kb(the current threshold for College of American Pathologists)down to 10×coverage.For CNVs larger than 50 kb,sensi-tivities were 100%for coverages deeper than 20×,97%for 15×,and 95%for 10×.We developed a WGS-based CNV pipeline,including this newly developed CNV caller JAX-CNV,and found it capable of detecting CMA-reported CNVs at a sensitivity of 100%with about a FDR of 4%.We propose that JAX-CNV could be further examined in a multi-institutional study to justify the transition of first-tier genetic testing from CMAs to WGS.JAX-CNV is available at https://github.com/The J acksonLaboratory/JAX-CNV.
