- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 分子生物学分子生物学
背景情况:
- 副本数变异 (CNV) 是影响基因剂量和功能的显著遗传变异.
- CNVs与各种疾病有关,但它们在遗传性乳腺癌易感性中的作用需要进一步研究.
- 以前的研究还没有彻底探讨CNVs对遗传性乳腺癌风险的贡献.
研究的目的:
- 研究罕见副本数变异 (CNVs) 在遗传性乳腺癌易感性中的作用.
- 确定与北芬兰队列遗传性乳腺癌风险增加相关的特定CNV.
- 评估乳腺癌病例和对照中确定的CNV的频率和重要性.
主要方法:
- 整体外体测序用于分析98例高风险的芬兰北部乳腺癌病例中的罕见神经核细胞.
- 候选CNVs使用直角方法进行验证,包括PCR,光学基因组映射和长读测序.
- 鉴定变异的基因定型在一个更大的遗传性乳腺癌病例队列,未选择的乳腺癌病例和对照中进行.
主要成果:
- 确定了三种复发的CNV:RAD52中的一个删除插入 (delins),HSD17B14中的一个删除,RAD51C中的一个部分重复.
- 与对照组 (0.9%) 相比,在遗传性乳腺癌易感性 (2.5%和2.9%) 的病例中,RAD52分离和HSD17B14删除显著丰富.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
17.7K
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%...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
13.6K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
