Sixty-four patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL; 18 patients with indolent subtype and 46 with aggressive subtype) associated with human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) were analyzed using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). The most frequent observations were gains at chromosomes 14q, 7q, and 3p and losses at chromosomes 6q and 13q. Chromosome imbalances, losses, and gai...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) have enabled us to perform high-throughput mutation screening and genome-wide copy number analysis, respectively. These methods can be used for molecular diagnosis of pediatric endocrine disorders. NGS has determined the frequency and phenotypic variation of mutations in several disease-associated gen...

Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) is a newly emerged molecular cytogenetic technique for rapid evaluation of the entire genome with sub-megabase resolution. It allows for the comprehensive investigation of thousands and millions of genomic loci at once and therefore enables the efficient detection of DNA copy number variations (a.k.a, cryptic genomic imbalances). Th...

MOTIVATION The identification of recurrent genomic alterations can provide insight into the initiation and progression of genetic diseases, such as cancer. Array-CGH can identify chromosomal regions that have been gained or lost, with a resolution of approximately 1 mb, for the cutting-edge techniques. The extraction of discrete profiles from raw array-CGH data has been studied extensively, but...

Many recent technologies have been designed to supplant conventional metaphase CGH technology with the goal of refining the description of segmental copy number status throughout the genome. However, the emergence of new technologies has led to confusion as to how to describe adequately the capabilities of each array platform. The design of a CGH array can incorporate a uniform or a highly vari...

Cervicogenic headache (CGH) is defined as referred pain from various cervical structures innervated by the upper three cervical spinal nerves. Such structures are potential pain generators, and include the atlanto-occipital joint, atlantoaxial joint, C2-3 zygapophysial joint, C2-3 intervertebral disc, cervical myofascial trigger points, as well as the cervical spinal nerves. Various interventio...

AIMS To describe a cytogenetic technique suitable for the rapid assessment of global gene expression that is based on comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH), and to use it to understand the relation between genetic amplifications and gene expression. METHODS Whereas traditional CGH uses DNA as test and reference in hybridisations, expressive genomic hybridisation (EGH) uses globally amplifie...

The array CGH technique (Array Comparative Genome Hybridization) has been developed to detect chromosomal copy number changes on a genomewide and/or high-resolution scale. It is used in human genetics and oncology, with great promise for clinical application. Until recently primarily PCR amplified bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) or cDNAs have been spotted as elements on the array. The l...

Summary: ArrayFusion annotates conventional CGH results and various types of microarray data from a range of platforms (cDNA, expression, exon, SNP, array-CGH and ChIP-on-chip) and converts them into standard formats which can be visualized in genome browsers (Affymetrix Integrated Genome Browser and GBrowse in the HapMap Project). Converted files can then be imported simultaneously into a sing...

We introduce a new algorithm for calculating computer generated hologram (CGH) using ray-sampling (RS) plane. RS plane is set at near the object and the light-rays emitted by the object are sampled at the plane. Then the light-rays are transformed into the wavefront with using the Fourier transforms. The wavefront on the CGH plane is calculated by wavefront propagation simulation from RS plane ...
