Copy Number Variants in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating disease mainly afflicting elderly people, characterized by decreased cognition, loss of memory, and eventually death. Although risk and deterministic genes are known, major genetics research programs are underway to gain further insights into the inheritance of AD. In the last years, in particular, new developments in genome-wide scanning methodologies ...
متن کاملmitochondrial copy number and d-loop variants in pompe patients
objective: pompe disease is a rare neuromuscular genetic disorder and is classified into two forms of early and late-onset. over the past two decades, mitochondrial abnormalities have been recognized as an important contributor to an array of neuromuscular diseases. we therefore aimed to compare mitochondrial copy number and mitochondrial displacement-loop sequence variation in infantile and ad...
متن کاملCopy number variants and pharmacogenomics.
The earliest pharmacogenomic studies focused on highly penetrant sequence polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes. The recent discovery of the widespread occurrence of copy number variants/polymorphisms in the human genome holds promise for new pharmacogenomic discoveries, aside from the commonly used single nucleotide polymorphism approach. Here we review the discovery of copy number varian...
متن کاملCopy number variants in Ebstein anomaly
BACKGROUND Ebstein anomaly (EA) is a rare congenital defect characterized by apical displacement of the septal tricuspid leaflets and atrialization of the right ventricle. The etiology of EA is unclear; however, recurrence in families and the association of EA with genetic syndromes and copy number variants (CNVs) suggest a genetic component. OBJECTIVE We performed a population-based study to...
متن کاملCopy number variants in absence epilepsy
Further complications of the picture After years of largely unsuccessful association studies attempting to detect genetic variants underlying common epilepsies, the recent identification of copy number variants (CNVs) in epilepsy has generated a lot of excitement. CNVs are defined as genomic deletions or duplications larger than 1 kb and up to several Mb in size. A proportion occur at genomic h...
