- BRCA2 エクソン15~26の6551のSNVの機能スコアが生成され,この領域の可能な変異の96.4%をカバーしました.
- 既存の臨床的変異データベース (ClinVar),正方形測定法,計算上の予測値と統合された機能データ.
主要な成果:
- 6,551のSNVに機能的分類が割り当てられ,ClinVarから1,282のミスセンスのVUSを含み,77.2%を良性,20.4%を病原性として再分類した.
- 研究地域内では3,384の良性SNVと776の病原性SNVが確認された.
- 既存の病原性データと計算上の予測との高度な一致を達成した.
結論:
- 開発された機能分析と結果の配列機能マップは,未確認のBRCA2変異の解釈のための強力なリソースを提供します.
- この分類システムは,医師や遺伝カウンセラーにBRCA2 VUSの患者の評価を助け,診断の正確性と患者のケアを改善します.

02:26Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
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%...

01:33Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

01:27Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants
The human genome is over 99.9% identical between individuals, yet genetic differences exist at millions of bases. The human genome contains approximately 3 million variant positions per individual, many of which are heterozygous, contributing to genetic diversity and individual traits. Genetic variations include single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and copy number variations (CNVs).SNPs, the most common variation, involve single-base changes in DNA. These can be...
