Copy Number Variation (CNV) refers to a type of genetic variation where the number of copies of a particular segment of DNA varies from one individual to another. This variation can involve deletions (loss of DNA segments), duplications (extra copies of segments), or even more complex structural changes within the genome. CNVs can range in size from a few hundred base pairs to several million base pairs and can encompass one or multiple genes.
