What is Variation?01:14

What is Variation?

18.4K
Apart from the measures of central tendency, distribution, outliers, and the changing characteristics of data with time, an important characteristic of any data set is its variation or spread. In some data sets, the data values are concentrated closely near the mean; in others, the data values are more widely spread out from the mean.
The range, standard deviation, standard error, and variance are the different measures of variation.
Range: The range is the difference between its maximum and...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.8K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Variation

8.0K
An important characteristic of any set of data is the variation in the data. In some data sets, the data values are concentrated closely near the mean; in other data sets, the data values are more widely spread out from the mean. The most common measure of variation, or spread, is the standard deviation, which is the square root of variance.
When independent and dependent variables are plotted on a scatter plot, the slope of a line is a value that describes the rate of change between the two...

Variation of Atmospheric Pressure01:18

Variation of Atmospheric Pressure

4.1K
Change in atmospheric pressure with height is particularly interesting. The decrease in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude is due to the decreasing gravitational force per unit area as we move away from the surface of the earth.
Assuming the air temperature is constant at a given altitude and that the ideal gas law of thermodynamics describes the atmosphere to a good approximation, one can find the variation of atmospheric pressure with height.
Let p(y) be the atmospheric pressure at...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.7K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Finding the Center of Gravity01:03

Finding the Center of Gravity

4.4K
The center of gravity of a body is an imaginary point where the body's total weight is assumed to be concentrated, and the body is perfectly balanced. The center of the mass of a body is a point at which the whole of the mass of the body appears to be concentrated. If the acceleration due to gravity, g, has the same value at all points on a body, its center of gravity is identical to its center of mass. The center of gravity of homogeneous bodies such as a sphere, cube, or rectangular plate...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • Copy number variations (CNVs) are large-scale DNA mutations (deletions/duplications >50 bp) previously overlooked compared to single-nucleotide variations.
  • CNVs are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to various clinical disorders.
  • This review focuses on the identification and implications of CNVs in dyslipidemias.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update recent progress in identifying copy number variations (CNVs) in dyslipidemias.
  • To highlight the role of CNVs in the genetic heterogeneity of lipid metabolism disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent literature and next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel data.
  • Identification of pathogenic CNVs in genes associated with dyslipidemias.
  • Analysis of clinical relevance of identified CNVs.

Main Results:

  • Previously, only LDLR and LPA genes were linked to CNVs in familial hypercholesterolemia and Lp(a) levels.
  • Since 2017, NGS panels have identified pathogenic CNVs in additional genes: PCSK9 (duplication), LPL, GPIHBP1, APOC2 (deletions), and ABCA1 (deletions).
  • These findings implicate CNVs in familial hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypoalphalipoproteinemia.

Conclusions:

  • Copy number variations (CNVs) represent a crucial class of mutations contributing to the molecular genetic diversity of dyslipidemias.
  • Next-generation sequencing clinical applications must integrate CNV analysis alongside small-scale genetic variations.
  • Considering CNVs is essential for improving the diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemias.
