The positive correlation between size of CNVs and likelihood of association with segmental duplication. This correlation is noted by both the Conrad et al. (2006) and Tuzun et al. (2005) studies. The lower proportion of segmental duplication-associated CNVs in the Conrad et al. (2006) data relates to the greater difficulty in detecting CNVs in regions of segmental duplication when analyzing SNP genotyping data as opposed to fosmid end sequence mapping. The CNV size classes were chosen so as to obtain approximately equal numbers of CNVs in each class for the smaller data set.
