Figure 6. Distribution of the height. These distributions are based on the number of
copies for the regions from 78,960,219bp to 78,961,487bp (a) and from 78,961,488bp
to 78,967,224bp (b) of chromosome 9.

4. Discussion and Conclusion
Our approach allows us to characterize CNVs occurring on Brazilian
population. The CNV database built in this work can be used for association
studies with different phenotypes. From this descriptive analysis of the
obtained CNVs, we could observe that the distribution of the length and the
number of CNVs per sample are similar to other populations as described in
the literature, but specific CNV regions were also identified. The minimal
regions identified can be considered as genetic markers specific for the
Brazilian population. Further work can be performed based on the CNV
database obtained and the annotation of the common identified CNVs should
be made for better understanding the biological system.
