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:We examined six pairs of monozygotic twins discordant (MZD) for schizophrenia and identified copy number variation (CNV) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) differences between affected and unaffected co-twins using the Affymetrix Genome Wide SNP 6.0.
Project description:Copy number profiling of 36 ovarian tumors on Affymetrix 100K SNP arrays Thirty-six ovarian tumors were profiled for copy-number alterations with the Affymetrix 100K Mapping Array. Copy number profiling of 36 ovarian tumors on Affymetrix 500K SNP arrays Sixteen ovary tumors were profiled for copy-number alterations with the high-resolution Affymetrix 500K Mapping Array.
Project description:In order to benchmark the reproducibility of Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 for detecting copy-number alterations, we performed replicate hybridizations of 3 tumor cell lines and 2 paired normal cell lines obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). We calculated copy numbers at each SNP probeset by a custom copy-number pipeline (PMID: 18772890). For each cell line, copy number data from replicate arrays are supplied in the accompanying matrix files. For each SNP probeset, we calculated the median copy number across replicate arrays. We compared the copy-number alterations detected by Circular Binary Segmentation segmentation of these arrays with statistical analyses of short sequence reads obtained from the Illumina/Solexa 1G GenomeAnalyzer. Shotgun sequencing results can be found in the NCBI Short Read Archive, accession number SRP000246 Keywords: disease state analysis
Project description:Follicular lymphoma is the most common indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involving germinal centre B cells, with a subset of patients undergoing transformation to a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) morphology for which the clinical outcomes are poor. To elucidate the differences in copy number profiles between FL and tFL groups, we performed Affymetrix SNP 6.0 Array analysis on 31 paired FL-tFL cases. We wanted to identify and compare recurrent somatic copy number alterations (CNAs) between the two groups (FL vs. tFL). In addition, the concordance and discordance in the copy neutral loss of heterozygosity (cnLOH) between the two groups were also investigated to identify recurrent target gene regions.
Project description:Deep characterization of a large series of splenic diffuse red pulp lymphomas DNA from 5 tumor samples, corresponding to 4 cases, were analyzed with Affymetrix SNP 6.0 platform for copy number alteration study.
Project description:In addition to KIT and PDGFRA mutations, sequential accumulation of other genetic events is involved in the development and progression of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Until recently, the significance of these other alterations has not been thoroughly investigated. The combination of gene expression profiling and high-resolution genomic copy number analysis offers a detailed molecular portrait of GISTs, providing an essential comprehensive knowledge necessary to guide the discovery of novel target genes involved in tumor development and progression. Fresh tissue specimens from 25 patients with GIST were collected and high-resolution genomic copy number analyses were performed using Affymetrix SNP array 6.0.
Project description:Affymetrix 10K SNP mapping arrays were used to profile 14 basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) with matched blood DNA samples. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and copy number abnormality (CNA) profiles were derived from each tumour-blood pair. Keywords: Genomic DNA on Affymetrix 10K SNP array
