Systematic analysis of copy number variants (CNVs) in large datasets is challenging and there are limited studies of homozygous copy number losses in rare disease exome datasets. Here we leveraged the genomic uniqueness and relative under-representation of the Indian population in the current public genomic databases and identified 42,386 possible homozygous losses (median count 20 per individual, range 0 - 55; median size 2.95 kb, range 99 bp - 4.76 Mb) in a heterogeneous cohort of 2,021 indivi...
