Copy Number Variation at the APOL1 Locus
Two coding variants in the APOL1 gene (G1 and G2) explain most of the high rate of kidney disease in African Americans. APOL1-associated kidney disease risk inheritance follows an autosomal recessive pattern: The relative risk of kidney disease associated with inheritance of two high-risk variants is 7-30 fold, depending on the specific kidney phenotype. We wished to determine if the variabilit...
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...
متن کاملCopy number variation at the breakpoint region of isochromosome 17q.
Isochromosome 17q, or i(17q), is one of the most frequent nonrandom changes occurring in human neoplasia. Most of the i(17q) breakpoints cluster within a approximately 240-kb interval located in the Smith-Magenis syndrome common deletion region in 17p11.2. The breakpoint cluster region is characterized by a complex architecture with large ( approximately 38-49 kb), inverted and directly oriente...
متن کاملShared Copy Number Variation in Simultaneous Nephroblastoma and Neuroblastoma due to Fanconi Anemia.
Concurrent emergence of nephroblastoma (Wilms Tumor; WT) and neuroblastoma (NB) is rare and mostly observed in patients with severe subtypes of Fanconi anemia (FA) with or without VACTER-L association (VL). We investigated the hypothesis that early consequences of genomic instability result in shared regions with copy number variation in different precursor cells that originate distinct embryon...
متن کاملHigh-resolution assessment of copy number variation.
PCR revolutionized genetic analysis by enabling selective amplification of targeted sequences that, as a consequence of massive enrichment, could undergo genetic analysis by a variety of methodologies. The subsequent addition of a double-stranded DNA intercalating dye to the master mix was a key adaptation to PCR that allowed monitoring of amplification in real time, thus enabling quantificatio...
