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 کاملCopy-number variation: the end of the human genome?
Copy-number variation (CNV)--the presence of additional or missing segments of chromosomes in some individuals--has been found to be abundant in humans and adds another dimension of variation to the genome. Copy-number variants have already been associated with some diseases and disease susceptibilities and are likely to prove as significant as sequence polymorphisms in this respect. Changes in...
متن کاملIdentification of copy number variation hotspots in human populations.
Copy number variants (CNVs) in the human genome contribute to both Mendelian and complex traits as well as to genomic plasticity in evolution. The investigation of mutational rates of CNVs is critical to understanding genomic instability and the etiology of the copy number variation (CNV)-related traits. However, the evaluation of the CNV mutation rate at the genome level poses an insurmountabl...
متن کاملDiversity of human copy number variation and multicopy genes.
Copy number variants affect both disease and normal phenotypic variation, but those lying within heavily duplicated, highly identical sequence have been difficult to assay. By analyzing short-read mapping depth for 159 human genomes, we demonstrated accurate estimation of absolute copy number for duplications as small as 1.9 kilobase pairs, ranging from 0 to 48 copies. We identified 4.1 million...
متن کاملA Common Copy Number Variation (CNV) Polymorphism in the CNTNAP4 Gene: Association with Aging in Females
BACKGROUND Aging is a biological process strongly determined by genetics. However, only a few single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to be consistently associated with aging. While investigating whether copy number variations (CNVs) could fill this gap, we focused on CNVs that have not been studied in previous SNP-based searches via tagging SNPs. METHODS TaqMan qPCR assays ...
