Abstract: Recently, researches on copy number variation （CNV） have extended to every field, such as etiological exploration and precise treatment of complex diseases, as well as genetic breeding and evolution. The unique genetic characteristics of CNV have made people gradually believe that it could be used as a biological genetic marker to solve related problems. With the development of detection technology, application of CNV in forensic medicine will increase gradually. In this paper, the concept and development of CNV, as well as its application in forensic medicine are summarized, to provide new ideas for the practical application of CNV in the future.
