Copy number variation has little impact on bead-array-based measures of DNA methylation
MOTIVATION Integration of various genome-scale measures of molecular alterations is of great interest to researchers aiming to better define disease processes or identify novel targets with clinical utility. Particularly important in cancer are measures of gene copy number DNA methylation. However, copy number variation may bias the measurement of DNA methylation. To investigate possible bias, ...
متن کاملCopy Number Deletion Has Little Impact on Gene Expression Levels in Racehorses
Copy number variations (CNVs), important genetic factors for study of human diseases, may have as large of an effect on phenotype as do single nucleotide polymorphisms. Indeed, it is widely accepted that CNVs are associated with differential disease susceptibility. However, the relationships between CNVs and gene expression have not been characterized in the horse. In this study, we investigate...

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 کاملHigh mitochondrial DNA copy number has detrimental effects in mice.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is an essential multicopy genome, compacted into protein-DNA clusters called nucleoids. Maintaining an adequate mtDNA copy number is crucial for cellular viability. Loss of mtDNA results in severe human syndromes, whereas increased mtDNA copy number has been suggested to improve survival from myocardial infarction in mice and to be a promising therapeutic strategy for ...
