BIRC5 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 کاملHidden copy number variation in the HapMap population.
Recently, the extent of copy number variation (CNV) throughout the genome has been shown to be far greater than previously thought. Further, it has been demonstrated that specific copy number variable regions (CNVRs) are associated with particular diseases, suggesting that these genetic variations may have an important biological role. Hence, calling CNVRs and subsequently classifying samples a...

متن کاملCopy Number Variation in Thai Population
Copy number variation (CNV) is a major genetic polymorphism contributing to genetic diversity and human evolution. Clinical application of CNVs for diagnostic purposes largely depends on sufficient population CNV data for accurate interpretation. CNVs from general population in currently available databases help classify CNVs of uncertain clinical significance, and benign CNVs. Earlier studies ...
متن کاملGenomic copy number variation in schizophrenia
Schizophrenia (OMIM 181500) is an incurable and severe psychiatric disorder comprised of three symptom domains (positive symptoms, negative symptoms and cognitive impairments) with a worldwide prevalence of approximately 1%. There is a substantial amount of evidence demonstrating that schizophrenia has a strong genetic component. Broad-sense heritability estimates range from 64-80% and first-de...
