Next generation mapping reveals novel large genomic rearrangements in prostate cancer
Complex genomic rearrangements are common molecular events driving prostate carcinogenesis. Clinical significance, however, has yet to be fully elucidated. Detecting the full range and subtypes of large structural variants (SVs), greater than one kilobase in length, is challenging using clinically feasible next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. Next generation mapping (NGM) is a new tec...
متن کاملGenomic Rearrangements of PTEN in Prostate Cancer
The phosphatase and tensin homolog gene (PTEN) on chromosome 10q23.3 is a negative regulator of the PIK3/Akt survival pathway and is the most frequently deleted tumor suppressor gene in prostate cancer. Monoallelic loss of PTEN is present in up to 60% of localized prostate cancers and complete loss of PTEN in prostate cancer is linked to metastasis and androgen-independent progression. Studies ...
متن کاملNext-Generation Sequencing Reveals One Novel Missense Mutation in COL1A2 Gene in an Iranian Family with Osteogenesis imperfecta
Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by bone loss and bone fragility. The aim of this study was to investigate the variants of three genes involved in the pathogenesis of OI. Methods: Molecular genetic analyses were performed for COL1A1, COL1A2, and CRTAP genes in an Iranian family with OI. The DNA samples were analyzed by...
متن کاملNext generation biomarkers in prostate cancer.
A wide spectrum of non-protein based biomarkers are under development that promises to revolutionize the care of prostate cancer (CaP) patients. In the context of CaP detection we highlight the potential value of the urine tests PCA3 and Prostarix(TM), especially for their ability to stratify patient risk with previous negative biopsy for occult cancer. The search for such markers is made more ...
متن کاملLarge genomic rearrangements in MECP2.
In 1999, mutations in the X-linked gene methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) were first reported in patients with Rett syndrome (RTT). The MECP2 gene is located at Xq28 and consists of 4 exons. About 80-90 % of the classic RTT patients harbor mutations in the coding region of MECP2, while the molecular cause is unknown in the remaining 10-20%. Several groups have searched for large rearrangemen...
