Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has the potential to outperform clinical microarrays for the detection of structural variants (SV) including copy number variants (CNVs), but has been challenged by high false positive rates. Here we present ClinSV, a WGS based SV integration, annotation, prioritisation and visualisation method, which identified 99.8% of pathogenic ClinVar CNVs >10kb and 11/11 pathogenic variants from matched microarrays. The false positive rate was low (1.5-4.5%) and reproducibilit...
