ParseCNV integrative copy number variation association software with quality tracking
A number of copy number variation (CNV) calling algorithms exist; however, comprehensive software tools for CNV association studies are lacking. We describe ParseCNV, unique software that takes CNV calls and creates probe-based statistics for CNV occurrence in both case-control design and in family based studies addressing both de novo and inheritance events, which are then summarized based on ...
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 کاملGenetic Association Studies of Copy-Number Variation: Should Assignment of Copy Number States Precede Testing?
Recently, structural variation in the genome has been implicated in many complex diseases. Using genomewide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays, researchers are able to investigate the impact not only of SNP variation, but also of copy-number variants (CNVs) on the phenotype. The most common analytic approach involves estimating, at the level of the individual genome, the underlying num...
متن کاملFamily-Based Benchmarking of Copy Number Variation Detection Software
The analysis of structural variants, in particular of copy-number variations (CNVs), has proven valuable in unraveling the genetic basis of human diseases. Hence, a large number of algorithms have been developed for the detection of CNVs in SNP array signal intensity data. Using the European and African HapMap trio data, we undertook a comparative evaluation of six commonly used CNV detection s...
متن کاملExtending genome-wide association studies to copy-number variation.
Appreciating the contribution of human genome copy-number variation (CNV) to clinical phenotypes is one of the compelling genetics challenges of the coming years. It is increasingly possible to pursue such investigations as an extension of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), enabled by innovations in the design and analysis of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) arrays and by progress in d...
