Project description:The Affymetrix SNP/CNV (SNP 6.0) platform was used to analyze a cell line model of lymph node metastasis comprised of a poorly metastatic MDA-MB-468GFP human breast adenocarcinoma cell line and its highly metastatic variant (468LN).
Project description:Comparison of Genotyping using pooled DNA samples (Allelotyping) and Individual Genotyping using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 In this study, data from 100 DNA samples individually genotyped with the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 were used to estimate the error of the pooling approach by comparing the results with those obtained using the same array type but DNA pools each composed of 50 of the same samples. Newly developed and established methods for signal intensity correction were applied. Furthermore, the relative allele intensity signals (RAS) obtained by allelotyping were compared to the corresponding values derived from individual genotyping. Similarly, differences in RAS values between pools were determined and compared.
Project description:Mutations in the PTH1R gene were reported but these mutations are limited to a small subgroup of patients. The etiology of Ollier disease is unknown. We therefore undertook genome-wide copy number and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays on 37 tumors of 28 Ollier patients in combination with expression array using Illumina Beadarray v3.0 for 7 tumors of 6 patients. We used Affymetrix SNP 6.0 to find out LOH and copy number alterations in Ollier tumors.
Project description:The identification of surrogate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers that can predict responses to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in rectal cancer patients. Genome-wide association studies in clinical populations are theoretically capable of identifying markers that are capable of tumor regression after CRT. We used Affymetrix’s SNP Array 6.0 to detail genetic polymorphism of patient’s group showing differential responsiveness to preoperative CRT and profiled SNP biomarkers.
