Copy number variation: new insights in genome diversity.
DNA copy number variation has long been associated with specific chromosomal rearrangements and genomic disorders, but its ubiquity in mammalian genomes was not fully realized until recently. Although our understanding of the extent of this variation is still developing, it seems likely that, at least in humans, copy number variants (CNVs) account for a substantial amount of genetic variation. ...
متن کاملCopy number variation and autism: new insights and clinical implications.
Genomic research can lead to discoveries of copy number variations (CNVs) which can be a susceptibility factor for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The clinical translation is that this can improve the care of children with ASD. Chromosome microarray is now the first-tiered genetic investigation for ASD, with a detection rate exceeding conventional cytogenetics and any single gene testing. Howev...
متن کاملCopy number variation associated with Kallmann syndrome: new genetics insights from genome-wide studies.
Kallmann syndrome and normosmic isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) are developmental disorders characterized by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism that, in the former case, is coupled to loss of the sense of smell. Linkage analyses, deletion mapping and candidate gene approaches uncovered several loci in the pathogenetic mechanism of these diseases (Figure 1). However, loss-of-function mut...
متن کاملCopy Number Variation in the Horse Genome
We constructed a 400K WG tiling oligoarray for the horse and applied it for the discovery of copy number variations (CNVs) in 38 normal horses of 16 diverse breeds, and the Przewalski horse. Probes on the array represented 18,763 autosomal and X-linked genes, and intergenic, sub-telomeric and chrY sequences. We identified 258 CNV regions (CNVRs) across all autosomes, chrX and chrUn, but not in ...
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...
