Pathogenesis and consequences of uniparental disomy in cancer.
The systematic application of new genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism arrays has demonstrated that somatically acquired regions of loss of heterozygosity without changes in copy number frequently occur in many types of cancer. Until recently, the ubiquity of this type of chromosomal defect had gone unrecognized because it cannot be detected by routine cytogenetic technologies. Random and...
متن کاملReciprocal uniparental disomy in yeast.
In the diploid cells of most organisms, including humans, each chromosome is usually distinguishable from its partner homolog by multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms. One common type of genetic alteration observed in tumor cells is uniparental disomy (UPD), in which a pair of homologous chromosomes are derived from a single parent, resulting in loss of heterozygosity for all single-nucleoti...
متن کاملUniparental disomy and prenatal phenotype
RATIONALE Uniparental disomy (UPD) gives a description of the inheritance of both homologues of a chromosome pair from the same parent. The consequences of UPD depend on the specific chromosome/segment involved and its parental origin. PATIENT CONCERNS We report prenatal phenotypes of 2 rare cases of UPD. DIAGNOSES The prenatal phenotype of case 1 included sonographic markers such as enlarg...
متن کاملFrequent occurrence of uniparental disomy in colorectal cancer.
We used SNP arrays to identify and characterize genomic alterations associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). Laser microdissected cancer cells from 15 adenocarinomas were investigated by Affymetrix Mapping 10K SNP arrays. Analysis of the data extracted from the SNP arrays revealed multiple regions with copy number alterations and loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Novel LOH areas were identified at ...
متن کاملComplex and segmental uniparental disomy updated.
OBJECTIVE To review all cases with segmental and/or complex uniparental disomy (UPD) and to discuss the impact of these cases on medical genetics. DESIGN Searching for published reports in PubMed and in the abstract books of the annual meetings of the American Society of Human Genetics and the European Society of Human Genetics up to March 2008. RESULTS In total, 26 cases with segmental UPD...
