Landscape of genomic structural variations in Indian population-based cohorts: Deeper insights into their prevalence and clinical relevance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Structural variations (SV) are large (>50 base pairs) genomic rearrangements comprising deletions, duplications, insertions, inversions, and translocations. Studying SVs is important because they play active and critical roles in regulating gene expression, determining disease predispositions, and identifying population-specific differences among individuals of diverse ancestries. However, SV discoveries in the Indian population using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) have been limited. In this study, using short-read WGS having an average 42X depth of coverage, we identify and characterize 36,210 SVs from 529 individuals enrolled in population-based cohorts in India. These SVs include 24,574 deletions, 2,913 duplications, 8,710 insertions, and 13 inversions; 1.26% (456 out of 36,210) of the identified SVs can potentially impact the coding regions of genes. Furthermore, 56 of these SVs are highly intolerant to loss-of-function changes to the mapped genes, and five SVs impacting ADAMTS17, CCDC40, and RHCE are common in our study individuals. Seven rare SVs significantly impact dosage sensitivity of genes known to be associated with various clinical phenotypes. Most of the SVs in our study are rare and heterozygous. This fine-scale SV discovery in the underrepresented Indian population provides valuable insights that extend beyond Eurocentric human genetic studies.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
