MIND·CNV

Measuring the Impact on NeuroDevelopment of Copy Number Variants

A clinical prediction tool for CNV interpretation - translating constraint scores into phenotypic effect sizes.

What this tool does

MIND·CNV helps clinicians interpret CNVs identified in the clinic by providing an estimate of effect size on general intelligence, social responsiveness, risk for autism, and probability of being de novo.

The initial model was published by Huguet et al. (2018). This updated version 2.0 is based on 27,000 individuals from 8 cohorts.

How it works

These additive models translate gnomAD constraint scores (pLI and LOEUF from gnomAD v2.1.1) into phenotypic effect sizes for deletions and duplications.

The tool predicts CNV effect size, not individual symptom severity. Concordance or discordance between the two guides clinical interpretation.

Important limitations

Current models do not apply to sex chromosomes (allosomes) due to insufficient observations.

This tool is continuously evolving with larger datasets and improved models. Results should be interpreted within the full clinical context.
