  • Publication number: 20250232836
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to genetic copy number variation (CNV) detection. Particularly, aspects are directed to sequencing nucleic acid obtained from a biological sample obtained from a subject to generate sequencing data. The sequence reads are ordered by mapping the sequence reads to a reference genome and stored in an ordered format, A global segmentation of the target region is performed based on the stored sequence reads and a set of segments of the target region is identified and used to determine a copy number variation (CNV) metric. A first status of a genetic condition for the subject is determined based on the CNV metric, and a report of the corresponding genetic condition screening test is determined based on the CNV metric and the status.
