[Copy number variation is a new form of genomic diversity].
This is a short review of recently described copy number variation of some segments of DNA. The origin of this phenomenon, the localization of these segments and their possible role in regulation of gene expression are discussed. The copy number variation should be regarded as a new form of genomic diversity.
