Copy-number variation and false positive prenatal aneuploidy screening results.
Investigations of noninvasive prenatal screening for aneuploidy by analysis of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) have shown high sensitivity and specificity in both high-risk and low-risk cohorts. However, the overall low incidence of aneuploidy limits the positive predictive value of these tests. Currently, the causes of false positive results are poorly understood. We investigated four pregna...
متن کاملFalse Discovery Rates and Copy Number Variation
Copy number changes, the gains and losses of chromosome segments, are a common type of genetic variation among healthy individuals as well as an important feature in tumor genomes. Microarray technology enables us to simultaneously measure, with moderate accuracy, copy number variation at more than a million chromosome locations and for hundreds of subjects. This leads to massive data sets and ...
متن کاملHIV false positive results and Flu vaccination
Abstract False positive results are the major problem influencing interpretation of Clinical Laboratory test. They are originated mostly in the other diseases, technical errors and the recent vaccination. The problem has been presented since 1991 is positive HIV test after influenza Vaccination (1). The False positive has been reported in Cases using Eliza, one of The most common test to screen...
متن کاملModified screening and ranking algorithm for copy number variation detection
MOTIVATION Copy number variation (CNV) is a type of structural variation, usually defined as genomic segments that are 1 kb or larger, which present variable copy numbers when compared with a reference genome. The screening and ranking algorithm (SaRa) was recently proposed as an efficient approach for multiple change-points detection, which can be applied to CNV detection. However, some practi...
متن کاملBIRC5 Genomic Copy Number Variation in Early-Onset Breast Cancer
Background: Baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat-containing 5 (BIRC5) gene is an inhibitor of apoptosis that expresses in human embryonic tissues but it is absent in most healthy adult tissues. The copy number of BIRC5 has been indicated to be highly increased in tumor tissues; however, its association with the age of onset in breast cancer is not well understood. Methods: Forty tumor tiss...
